More Sarah Records stuff, I’m afraid, but this one’s a biggie… because My Secret World, Lucy Dawkins’ 2014 film about the label, is now available to view in full for free online. So if you’ve ever wondered what all these people I keep talking about looked and sounded like, [1/3]

Caryatids also available in Cheltenham as I spotted yesterday

In 1991 BBC made the group change name because of Gulf War. 30,000 Iraqis were killed by US with British support - sounds familiar.

I will beintroducing my new New Cross book at the 'Nunhead and District Municipal Museum' (80 Gellatly Road) with a short informal talk at 2 pm this afternoon. Also if you've never been to this annual pop up temple of kitsch you are missing out www.telegraphhillfestival.org.uk/events/the-n...
