Dundee Jute Stowers
"Tuppence A Bale"
Tuppence A Bale was filmed in Dundee during the mid 1980's and is the only film showing a Stower carrying Jute on his back. It's also in colour which is fantastic! This video is another piece of Dundee History.
Little Britain in Benidorm
I felt like I had died and gone to heaven when I attended my very first Benidorm Fiesta on the 17th November 2011. This was right up my street and it was thanks Jo and 'Big Brian Harris'
(originally from Beechwood but now living in Benidorm) for inviting me and my wife Betty over to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary.
The Glamour Chase
The Glamour Chase tells of the life and times of Dundee musician Billy MacKenzie.
Those who knew Billy from his time with The Asscociates and beyond give their account about time spent with the man himself.
He will always be remembered as a very talented individual who helped put Dundee on the musical map…FACT!
Specsavers Top 40
Over the last wee while, I have been out and about with my camera taking some very funny images for my specsavers page
and have decided to upload my top 40 favourites. Some absolute belters are only a wee click away, so click the box below and see if you recognise anyone.
Weclome to Hoolywood!!
Thank you very much indeed for logging on to hoolywoodproductions.com which was made in Dundee in 2009 by local Dundee man Willie Hoolachan. Never before has a website captured the imagination of so many Dundonians in such a short space of time and without the help and dedication of an old friend or two, this website would not be possible. I would just like to take this opportunity to thank them for the support and encouragement they have given me in making this dream I have had in my head for years become a reality!
What is Hoolywood Productions all about you may ask? Well it's quite simple really.
It doesn't take a brain surgeon or a mathematician long to work out that the recent films coming out of HOLLYWOOD in America, and BOLLYWOOD in India are
absolute pants and very over-rated, so now for the first time on the wee screen, HOOLYWOOD has arrived to cheer you up!
Now there is no need to pay money to watch these so called blockbusters made in Tinsel Town or
Bombay because this website is absolutely free for the fine citizens of Dundee, including the many ex-patriots who have moved abroad
and the thousands who decided Dundee just wasn't for them - and of course, the new influx of people who have came from all corners of the
globe and settled in this fine city of ours.
Talents and characters The aim of this website is to showcase the vast amount of talent that lies just beneath the surface in Dundee. Quite a few success stories have come out of the city in the past, but there is quite a lot of un-hidden talent that seems to go un-noticed so HOOLYWOOD now gives many people a helping hand to get noticed in the big bad world. Please take a little time to browse through all the pages on my website because there really is a lot of talent and characters waiting to put Dundee on the map.
Music…Poetry…Old Dundee Films…Humour
It really is quite simple to find your way round this unique website. Just press the links at the top of the page and use the scroll button to navigate your
way round, if you get lost then you really do need to go to specsavers! There are 2 cracking Dundee Street Poets to check out, then there are loads
of music videos and mp3's for you on the Dundee Music Scene page. I have also gathered some incredible films and slideshows of our city
and put them in the Dundee Throughout The Years link.
Some of the videos have never been seen before in public, and for the first time many viewers will get their eyes opened at the
ever-changing face of Bonnie Dundee. Also, if your needing cheered up, then log on to the My Kinda People page, which features some local
celebrities who you may recognise, and I have uploaded a few hilarious clips from around the world because they make me laugh, and we can all do with walking
about with a little smile on our face every now and then as most of you will agree. So what are you waiting for viewers, go to the top of the page and
have a wee peek but be warned… you may break a rib or two haha!
Please don't fall out your pram…it's only banter On a more serious note, if anyone reading this is offended by any of the material on my website, may I suggest you pick up the phone and book an appointment at the dour puss clinic where you can voice your opinion to the receptionist stating that you're not a happy chappie. I have a feeling your 'wee gripe' will fall on deaf ears because rumour has it the young lady on the desk has got a hearing aid in both ears. If that avenue fails, then it would be advisable to look at yourself in the mirror and ask the person who is looking back at you this question… Do I need a personality transplant? If the answer to that question is yes, then you really do need a check up fae the neck up coz you've got to remember one thing viewers… I'm only here for the banter so don't take me too seriously…SHABBA.
Check me out on Facebook and You Tube As if my hectic lifestyle wasn't busy enough, I've also got my own Facebook and YouTube pages which are TECKLETASTIC! You can visit any of these 2 sites by simply pressing the links below…enjoy!
