Poly Styrene made her mark on the music world with her voice and post-modern identity. She was the lead singer of X-Ray Spex and the inspiration for the riot grrrl and afropunk movement. Having become the custodian of her mother’s legacy, Celeste Bell has used a series of never-before-seen artistic archives to create a documentary around her mother’s trajectory, addressing themes such as misogyny, racism and mental illness. In this session, a debate will be created around the film ‘Poly Styrene: I Am A Cliché’, with the intuit of making known a never before seen version of Poly, the mother side. × Keywords: Poly Styrene, family, punk, heritage, archives, documentary. 11 Resistance in the Sky The BIG JOANIE, band, United Kingdom. Stephanie PHILLIPS, Singer and guitarist, United Kingdom. Chardine TAYLOR-STONE, drummer, United Kingdom. Estella ADEYERI, bassist, United Kingdom. ↙ Abstract Stephanie, Chardine and Estella together form the band Big Joanie. These artists will offer us an intimate insight into the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the music industry. They will discuss in detail the consequences but also the new ways of reinventing a sector that was characterised by interaction with the public. Moreover, a reflection will also be made around the future of the music industry, the music venues and the very policies for the sector and the artists, since this pandemic has highlighted even more sharply the precariousness of the sector and its artists, as well as exacerbating the daily difficulties faced by all those who want to establish a career in the world of music and the arts. × Keywords: music-making, resistance, COVID-19, coping strategies. 12 How has DIY helped the Whisper Voice Diva? Cathy CLARET, singer, musician, composer, Spain. ↙ Abstract Cathy Claret é uma artista do mundo e, com esta sessão, vem dar-nos a conhe- cer um pouco da sua viagem. Assim, serão abordados temas como os processos de musick-making e a relação desses mesmos com as vivências de cada artista. Num context como o que vivemos, derivado à imposição de uma pandemia mundial, Cathy Claret aborda com pormenor a importância – e muitas vezes ne- cessidade – da adoção de um ethos e uma praxis DIY, uma vez que em muitos casos, essa assume-se como a única forma de sobrevivências, mas também de resistência. The ‘whisper voice diva’ irá demonstrar e dar a conhecer os momen- tos em que o DIY se assumiu como determinante na sua vida e no seu percurso artístico. × Keywords: DIY, resistance, music-making, identities, artistic narratives. 13 Ripped and Torn: 1976-79 - The loudest punk fanzine in the UK Tony DRAYTON, Ripped & Torn Fanzine, activist, United Kingdom. ↙ Abstract In late 70s Glasgow, punk gigs were banned by Glasgow City Council following the national furore caused by the first popular punk groups like The Sex Pistols. Tony Drayton – aka Tony D – managed to create a fanzine documenting the international scene viewed through this prism and today, Ripped & Torn remains an essential resource for understanding and enjoying the initial explosion of this independent, ferocious and fun music. While nowadays the phrase ‘punk is dead’ is more alive than real punk may be, Tony Drayton knew punk when it was fresh out of rebellious wombs and birthed onto the streets of the UK. It was with this first-hand experience that Tony took pen to paper and conceived the zine that was made by punks for punks about punk. Tal como Tony refere: ‘Ripped & Torn was created after I saw the Damned at the Hope & Anchor in November 1976. At the gig Mark P. who at the time was publishing the fanzine Sniffin’ Glue told me in a good way to create my own fanzine in Glasgow, where I was living, rather than write for him. So back in Glasgow I got down and produced a 10-page fanzine, to show myself I could do it.’ The first issue was created in 1976 up in the land of the Scots in a small town outside of Glasgow. However, despite not being born in the hub of the punk explosion, Tony managed to create a time capsule with each issue that encases the flesh, the blood and the holy spirit of the anarchistic subcultures of the late 1970s. Within the space of three years Tony managed to spread the scripture of Ripped and Torn anti-establishment youths — with 17 issues published before he finally gave up the zine making business. + Source: × https://www.mixcloud.com/gail-thibert/tony-drayton-interviewed-by-gail-thibert-soap- -the-stamps-show-for-hspark-radio/. × Keywords: Ripped and Torn, fanzine, memory, personal archives, punk. 14 Hallo Sausages: The lyrics of Ian Dury Jemima Dury, Independent Writer, United Kingdom. ↙ Abstract Ian Dury was a rock-and-roll poet famous for his funny, provocative, visceral lyrics and a legendary force on the London music scene from 1970 onwards. In the course of his unstoppably creative career, he studied art with Peter Blake, before turning his mind to music. With his band The Blockheads, his music marked a new era in new wave music, as they turned out hits like ‘Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll’, ‘Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick’ and ‘Reasons to Be Cheerful’. Hallo Sausages is a collection of Ian’s lyrics - not only material that was released, but also material that was gathered by Jemima from old demos, song fragments and other sources that, until 2012, had remained hidden. The book puts the lyrics together with the original scrawled notes (complete with coffee stains), typewritten songs, and miscellany of scraps that inspired them. Hallo Sausages: The Lyrics of Ian Dury is arranged chronologically: the six chapters cover every phase in Ian’s career from his early days in the seventies right up to his death in 2000. In this session, Jemima will introduce each chapter, who paints a warm, insightful, and humorous portrait of the man behind the outrageous words. In conversation Lucy and Jemima will then, explore the process of curating, collecting, editing and framing Ian’s words and using lyrics, notes and scraps to build a history of an artist’s life.
