Between Hello and Goodbye: the Secret World of Sarah Records Press Release: For immediate release Between Hello and Goodbye: The Secret World of Sarah Records Over the May bank holiday Arnolfini presents Between Hello and Goodbye: The Secret World of Sarah Records, a weekender celebrating the legacy of cult 90s Bristol Record Label Sarah Records from Friday 2 – Sunday 5 May 2014. This event forms part of the Bristol Art Weekender - a four-day programme celebrating art across Bristol. Over the weekend Arnolfini will be presenting an exhibition of Sarah memorabilia including original artwork, sleeves, posters and fanzines, plus additional themed walks and activities. On Saturday evening the new documentary about the label My Secret World will be previewed during a concert programme featuring performances by bands from the label: The Orchids, Secret Shine, Amelia and Rob (ex-Heavenly). Sarah Records first operated from a telephone-free basement at the top of Blackboy Hill and then from a house overlooking Bedminster station, releasing 100 7" pop singles between 1987 and 1995. Clare Wadd and Matt Haynes, the label's young founders, then took out adverts in the music press headed 'A Day For Destroying Things' announcing that the label was over and that they didn't do encores. Since then, Sarah has acquired almost legendary status around the world, and is now the subject of both a documentary - My Secret World - The Story Of Sarah Records by filmmaker Lucy Dawkins - and a book, Popkiss: the Life and Afterlife of Sarah Records (forthcoming from Bloomsbury). My Secret World is the first feature length documentary to explore this legendary, influential and often misunderstood label. As well as displaying a healthy DIY punk attitude, the idiosyncratic label saw its productions as something of a love letter to its home city, featuring photos of Bristol on the centre labels of its singles, naming its compilations after local places, and giving away postcards that formed a jigsaw of Temple Meads station. Exhibition Friday 2 May - Monday 5 May, 11am - 6pm, free Concerts and ScreeninG Saturday 3 May, 7.30pm, £18 / £16 concs (price includes ticket to Clare Wadd & Matt Haynes: In Conversation) Performances from The Orchids, Secret Shine, and Amelia and Rob (ex-Heavenly) will follow a preview screening of My Secret World, plus an afterparty from 12pm. Clare Wadd and Matt Haynes: In Conversation Saturday 3 May, 5.30pm, £3 (free to ticket holders for Saturday night concert) In conversation with Sarah Records founders Clare Wadd and Matt Haynes. Sarah Records: Bristol Walks Saturday 3 May 1pm, Sunday 4 May 11am, Monday 5 May 11am, (leavinG from Arnolfini foyer), free just turn up As part of the exhibition Sarah Records label co-founder Clare Wadd will be leading themed City Walks in conjunction with local Ramblers, Brunel Walking Group. The walks will take in some of the locations, which gave the label’s releases their names, and are a perfect opportunity to explore Bristol. The walks run for about an hour and a half (covering 3 – 4 miles). Part of Bristol Art Weekender Four-days celebrating art across the city 2-5 May 2014 www.bristolartweekender.co.uk Join the conversation @ArnolfiniArts #SarahBristol -ENDS – Notes for Editors Secret Shine Secret Shine emerged from the late eighties/early nineties shoegaze scene. Releases on the cult label Sarah followed, most notably the single Loveblind and album Untouched. After a long lay off in 1996, the band reformed again in 2004 before tragedy struck in 2005 after the untimely death of drummer Tim Morris. After recording a tribute record to Tim, the band remained active releasing a number of EPs and the long player 'All of the Stars' in 2008 and 'The Beginning and the End' in early 2012, as well as numerous shows in USA and Europe. A new single and album are due in 2014/15. The Orchids The Orchids is an enigmatic five piece band, formed in the Glasgow suburb Penilee in 1986. Their first six singles and three albums were met with widespread critical acclaim. They graduated from the gentle lo-fi craft of their first album, Lyceum, in 1989 through to the ground breaking and progressive sounds of their third, aptly titled, StrivinG For The Lazy Perfection in 1994 with “sixth member” Ian Carmichael of One Dove at the studio controls. The group split up in 1995, playing their final gig at the Sarah Records farewell party. The Orchids reformed in 2004, and have since released LPs Good to Be a Stranger (2007) and The Lost Star (2011). Amelia and Rob (ex-Heavenly) Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey have been in indie bands together since 1986, including Talulah Gosh (1986-88), Heavenly (1989-96), Marine Research (1997-99) and Tender Trap (2000 onwards). Heavenly recorded their first three albums for Sarah Records, with the fourth coming out after the demise of the label. Heavenly was brought to an end by the early death of Mathew (aged 25) in 1996. The remaining members went on to form Marine Research (1997-99), with new drummer DJ Downfall. Since 2000, Rob and Amelia have been in Tender Trap with DJ Downfall, Katrina Dixon and Emily Bennett. Tender Trap is currently on a hiatus, so Amelia and Rob will be trying out some brand new songs at the Arnolfini as a duo. My Secret World - The Story Of Sarah Records A new feature length documentary digging into the label's history. Directed by Lucy Dawkins, the film features interviews with Wadd and Haynes, plus former Sarah band members and music critics. Interview with Director Lucy Dawkins here.

The purpose of this research, in large part, is to show that punk has in fact been a persistent and consistent tradition in the decades since.

As was often the case in rock music, the most publicized phenomenon was also the least artistically interesting. "Brit-pop" became a derogatory term, one associated with ephemeral and dubious acts that speculated on facile melodies and trivial arrangements. If the British Invasion of the 1960s had at least revitalized the USA scene, the "Brit-pop" invasion of the 1990s... was hardly an invasion at all. The Brit-pop bands were all terribly similar and, mostly, tedious. In the end, only a few of them managed to have one or two world-wide hits, and most of them added very little to the history of rock music (other than yet another proof of the aberrations of its industry). In 1990 Brit-pop had not materialized yet as a "fad", but the seeds were already being planted by bands such as Lightning Seeds, with their retro' classic Cloudcuckooland (1990), and La's, with La's (1990), specializing in sculpting memorable and unassuming melodies.

Robin took the decision to postpone Truck Festival on the Friday afternoon, the day before it was due to take place, when a nearby brook burst its banks, deluging the field with water. Much of Steventon village was also flooded, including Robin’s family home. Despite the chaos and the devastating effect of the floods, the Truck organisers and a team of volunteers quickly moved to organise two nights of gigs up at Brookes University Union, featuring many of the acts due to play Goldrush - Robin Bennett far left at the festival, including headliners Garth and Maud Hudson and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

  • Dýrðin They Channel the Sound of Titans Like Tallulah Gosh and the All Girl Summer Fun Band Perfectly
    reviews Dagger Dýrðin they channel the sound of titans like Tallulah Gosh and The All Girl Summer Fun band perfectly. It doesn't 'even matter that they are singing in their native language cos' you can make up your own words! From one song to the next, the guitars jangle, the keyboards chirp n' chime , the drums slap and the vocalist sounds like the happiest person in the world. Listening to tunes like "Mr Spock", "Popp and Co", "Bubble Girl" and "Hunangsdropar" you'll realize it ain't rocket science but it's just infectious music played by 5 folks who are doing it cos' they love it and those kinds of bands have always been they best kind for me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go eat the cd cover. Three Imaginary Girls Mod and quick-witted like Virgo Claudette Colbert, this band is a milkshake of the Maybellines with bubble tea karaoke tapioca balls at the bottom! Talk about a rocket in your pocket! This band is set for take off, or at least to be feasted on as the perfect take-out. Indie MP3 Taking elements of C86, Sarah records and indie pop in general and Dyrdin have put together a collection of well crafted and infectious pop tunes that you will want to play time and time again. Buy it and get bopping! Vanity Project It's got a bit of all of Amelia Fletcher's incarnations in there, and a sharp, and cool briskness that seems to fight away accusations of indie geekery.
