• Boogaloo Stu - Bazooka Promo Video (2015)
  
  Music video for Boogaloo Stu's single 'Bazooka', by Boogaloo Stu and ladypat. "ladypat filmed various takes against a greenscreen, and then added in all of the effects and graphics. The basic premise of this video was 'too much is never enough'! I wore a variety of my wildest costumes, and at the time I was experimenting with unusual headgear; I had an old orange perspex Kartell lampshade upcycled to become a bubble-shaped helmet. I had drilled some additional air-vents in the top of the shade which I then covered up with sequins. The base structure for the helmet was an orange satin 'neck corset' that fitted around my neck, lacing up at the back. The helmet was festooned with sequins and with orange pompoms. Despite the ventilation, it was unbelievably uncomfortable and claustrophobic to wear, which is possibly why it only makes a fleeting appearance in this video - I could only bear to wear it for about 30 seconds at a time."
• Boogaloo Stu - Dynamite! promo video /// unreleased demo version (2005)
  
  Music video for Boogaloo Stu's single 'Dynamite!', by Boogaloo Stu and ladypat. "We filmed this with Toby at Lighthouse, where they had an infinity studio. It features Sparklemotion, Princess Knickers and Dolly Rocket. This video was made for the re-recording of this song; the original version featured a sample of Cuba by The Gibson Brothers, whose label refused to give permission for us to release it."
• Boogaloo Stu - Forever More promo video/Metronomy remix (2010)
  
  Music video for Boogaloo Stu's single 'Forever More - Metronomy Remix', by Boogaloo Stu and ladypat. "We never had a storyboard planned for any of these videos. It was always just me turning up with a couple of suitcases full of costumes and quiffs, and then figuring out what we could perhaps make. With this video, there were a few props sitting around at Microchunk that we made use of, including a large papier-mache apple; we then filmed my green net-clad hands and arms in a variety of poses, which ladypat then formed into a tree to make it appear I was plucking a giant apple from a tree made of arms. It’s weird watching this back now. It all seems quite serious and earnest, and then suddenly I appear in my knickers, doing a bit of thrusting. It’s all at odds with at my attempts to be a serious artist. But that was always the problem whenever we made these videos, I couldn’t help acting the fool - and of course ladypat would film it all!"
• Boogaloo Stu - Magic Soul Promo Video (2013)
  
  Music video for Boogaloo Stu's single 'Magic Soul', by Boogaloo Stu and ladypat. "There’s a lot of pouting, and serious looks in this one; ladypat wanted to create something lush, ultra-dreamy and meditative, to reflect mood the song. He has spent long periods of time in India, so there’s quite a lot of cultural references to Buddhism in this video. This was all shot in one day against a greenscreen, with ladypat spending weeks after layering up the animations and graphics."
• Boogaloo Stu - Magnetic Heart Promo Video (2008)
  
  Music video for Boogaloo Stu's single 'Magnetic Heart', by Boogaloo Stu and Collina. "This is the only video for which I didn’t collaborate with ladypat. Collina was hugely talented and storyboarded every frame of the video, so we knew exactly what we were going to film. It features Sparklemotion, Princess Knickers and also my ballroom dancing partner, Sherri. I also made 4 mini-Sparklemotion hand puppets."
• Boogaloo Stu - Rocksteady Flash web promo video (2002)
  
  Music video for Boogaloo Stu's single 'Magnetic Heart', by Boogaloo Stu and ladypat. "It’s hard to believe this was almost 20 years ago. YouTube had only just launched, and ladypat was an early adopter. He used flashpop software (which was also quite cutting-edge at the time) to create this video. He always described himself as an ‘undesigner’; as such his animations often have a crooked, wonky charm. The characters here were drawn and animated from images I had from photoshoots, club events and performances. It features The Incredible Tall Lady, Miss High Leg Kick and Dolly Rocket (with her exploding boobs)."

• Boogaloo's single Rocksteady - The Sun, Wed, Sept 14, 2005 - “Biz” box
  
  “Biz” box on The Sun - 14th September 2005. The feature was acheived by my so-called “press agent”. This was practically the only press he got for us (this was the re-issue of my debut single “Rocksteady” originally from 2001) and the one thing it did achieve was I got a live agent who got me a few gigs across the country to promote the album.

  Me at Preston Park in the late 90s, wearing a gold rubber Elvis wig, Hawaiian style shirt featuring images of Presley, bondage trousers by DSquared and carrying a bottle of vodka alcopop, the most popular club drink of the period. From memory the event was still unfenced and free.
