UB40 in Deptford

A commenter at a previous post has pointed us in the direction of UB40's 1983 version of Many Rivers to Cross - the video of which was made in St Pauls Church, Deptford.

According to a discussion a the UB40 Bulletin Board, the choir in the church that day also included Aswad, Eek a Mouse, Ruby Turner, Jackie Graham, Feargal Sharkey (lead singer with the Undertones) and the late Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy. I also spotted Musical Youth. All this and lots of polystyrene snow. It was directed by Bernard Rose who went on to be a Hollywood director, responsible for films including Candy Man and Immoral Beloved.
