MY SECRET WORLD: THE STORY OF SARAH RECORDS + LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM CATENARY WIRES (Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey)

8pm, ?8

The first feature length documentary to explore Sarah Records, the influential and often misunderstood label, followed by a live performance from The Catenary Wires (Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey of Heavenly / Talulah Gosh).

Ethics and passion in their purest form. Welcome to the world of Sarah Records, active between 1987-1995, and possibly the most indie of all indie labels. This is a documentary where principles prevail and attitude and actions are just as important as the music. Heroics and belligerence, ephemeral-eternal-pop, fanzines and the incorruptible founders Clare Wadd and Matt Haynes. Their inspirations, the records, the bands, the letters, the long list of journalists that detested Sarah, the fans that love Sarah?The defiance and determination of our founding duo and and their final declaration. Their focus on something that was non-commercial and exciting, as if music could change lives and mean SOMETHING. My Secret World is a resounding reminder that music doesn't need to be about posturing, production or money to be an outright success.

Directed and funded by Lucy Dawkins, My Secret World has been 4 years in the making.
