I really, really loved this one when I was a kid. Everything about it felt right. The photography, the music, the smooth deep voice of the bloke at the end.
I'd been searching for the clip for years without success, not least because I'd mistakenly misremembered it as a Tennents ad instead of a Guinness one. Because of its length (two minutes), it didn't get shown on TV that often. You were more likely to see it at the cinema before a film started.
The music was written by Bill Whelan, who later made mega-millions by composing the score for Riverdance. The proto-Daft Punk guitar solo is by Des Moore, a veteran of the Dublin rock scene. Raphael Ravenscroft of Baker Street fame did the sax solo.
Anyway, throw up your favourite old ads here.
