Siren: on boots, amps, and bikes

Siren, Brighton based all women indie rock band and theatre company, has been rocking since 1980. Formed at the height of Thatcher's Britain, they aimed their artistic expression at the twin enemies of the day: the conservatism and sexism that were built deep into the social infrastructure. 

We met with Siren members Tash Fairbanks, Debra Trethewey and Jude Winter, to talk music, politics, fashion, and activism.  
Personal journeys, meaningful places, and what it means to be an all women band - forty years ago and today.
