The Wave Pictures’ Blue Harbour by Ben Reed
Thursday, 9. June 2011 - 2:05 pm
Last year Ben Reed directed a superb video for The Wave Pictures Sweetheart, entirely made from of words and artwork from antiquarian books, that was nominated for Best Budget Video (Rock, Indie, Alternative) at the 2010 UK Music Video Awards.

And not just any old turntable, but that must-have of the Seventies household, a music centre. Ben picked it up at a bootsale for a fiver…
