<\/h2>\nAn 18-Year-Old Music Icon Captured For Immortality<\/strong><\/h2>\nIn 1965, a clerk named Lucien Salama was pursuing his hobby of filming the streets of London, which one day led him down Denmark Street, the road immortalised as the birthplace of the British music industry.<\/p>\n
Back in its swinging heyday, Denmark Street was home to a multitude of guitar shops, record stores and the offices of music publishers, promoters and managers; the likes of The Kinks, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie made their first albums there.<\/p>\n
Fast-forward to ten years ago, when Lucien\u2019s son decided to transfer his father\u2019s cine film collection to DVD;\u00a0upon viewing the footage from that long-ago day on Denmark Street,\u00a0he noticed a tall, slim, unmistakable figure dressed in a neat suit strolling down Denmark Street.<\/p>\n
The figure was an 18-year-old David Bowie. Noticing the camera, the future icon merely smiles and continues on his way, captured for posterity on a cine reel now converted to DVD.<\/p>\n
Seeing Your Wedding Video For The First Time \u2013 50 Years Later<\/strong><\/h2>\nIn 2017, the Express reported a story of a couple who were able to watch a clip of their wedding some 50 years after the ceremony.\u00a0A chance discovery of some old cine film allowed them to see their special day again after it was converted to DVD.<\/p>\n
The original footage had been discovered by a Scottish filmmaker who tracked down the happy couple half a century later. We can’t imagine just how happy the couple felt after discovering footage from such an amazing day.<\/p>\n
\u00a0A City Down The Ages<\/strong><\/h2>\nCollecting old film footage from York down the years, amateur filmmaker Philip Hutchinson pieced together an amazing archive of scenes from the city.<\/p>\n
By converting reels gathered from car boot sales and eBay to DVD, Hutchinson\u2019s archive brings the York of the 1960s and 70s to life. There\u2019s even a clip of boxer Henry Cooper being mobbed while promoting Brut aftershave.<\/p>\n
