“For the ‘Heaven Up Here’ shoot we went to Porthcawl beach in South Wales as they were recording
at Rockfield Studio, which was fairly near. We had buckets of fish offal and had a guy run up the beach throwing fish guts in the air to attract the gulls. After the shoot, we all piled into this seven seater black Peugeot estate I had on hire, and drove away from the beach. There was me, my assistant, the Bunnymen and the fish guts man who was stinking the car out.” – Brian Griffin
