according to wikipedia
Haircut 100 had their first hit 'love plus one' which reached number 4 in October 1981 which contradicts DH’s statement that this happened in 1980. Also videojukeboxes were not in usage at until the mid to late 1980's and those utilised laserdiscs with a CRT screen and certainly not projector systems while assertion of a screening ratio of '600% full size' is frankly ludicrous. Even at their maximum usage they were very, very uncommon.
Although there is a history of ‘video juke boxes going back to the 1940’s in the USA Europe did not have them until the Scopitone ST-16 and Scopitone ST-36 which were made in France in the very late fifties and early sixties.
So even if the ‘dingy bar’ had one of these, had somehow been able to construct a playback system that they had rigged to have a massive projector, it certainly would not have been optimised for playing 'pop videos' a year before they came out in the charts.

Well bugger me!
This means that Dave must have been either a bullshitter or a time traveller.

I favour the latter.
