Bill Bleakley presents the final chapter in his trilogy of videos for Australian blues-rock band The Teskey Brothers, continuing the stories of characters he has introduced in the two previous videos.As with Oceans Of Emotion and Take My Heart, the video for London Bridge cuts between separate storylines, returning to real people who have appeared before - the young rodeo rider, the young Asian couple - and introducing a new narrative strand, about the burgeoning love affair between two girls. And again, the band's performance in a bar location fits seamlessly into this world, of smalltown and rural life in the state of Victoria, Australia. Bleakley's main focus is to quietly expand upon their hopes and ambitions, and the real challenges - and bigotry - that they face. He has rounded off the trilogy, but left things open-ended. It's a thought-provoking, entirely engrossing body of work.
