There’s a new book out on the history of Sarah Records and it’s a whopper! It’s so thick and full of all things Sarah and the Bristol scene at that time. It will definitely be taking me on a trip down memory lane and bringing back all those forgotten memories of days gone by. The 1st print run has almost sold out but don’t worry another run is planned. The book’s written by Bristol author Jane Duffus & if you buy the book, you might also spot some of my photos!
Ahh I miss those days where you could go to a gig and come back with a fanzine and a flexi for 50p and then spend hours reading up of all these new and exciting bands that wouldn’t get the slightest mention in the music press.
Last night was the official launch of the book and we were treated to a really interesting interview with Matt Haynes who recounted the trials and tribulations of the label. Afterwards Blueboy who hadn’t played for 30 years gave us a ½ hour acoustic set and it sounded great. It was all very sweet. I didn’t manage to grab the one and only setlist this time but it went to a deserving guy who had travelled from Madrid for the gig and kindly let me take a photo.
