This shows Siren loading up the van after a performance of ‘Mama’s Gone a-Hunting’, still wearing their costumes. Often, after a performance, the get-out had to be very fast, with no time to change. This was an outdoors, daytime performance.

Throughout Siren’s tours, they stayed at friend’s homes (or their parents) as we were not funded and could not afford B&Bs. This often meant sleeping in our sleeping bags on the floor.

This shows Jude, Tash and Deb in the van after a performance of Chic to Chic, still in costume.

A scanned image set of the Siren Theatre Company 1982 vinyl record and sleeve 'Siren Plays', released by 'Stroppy Cow records’. It shows a list of the inner sleeve with the lyrics of 10 songs composed by various members of Siren and performed by Siren. It also shows photographs of Siren on the back cover, namely Jane Boston guitar, Jude Winter keyboards, Debra Trethewey drums and Tasha Fairbanks saxophone. This was Siren’s first time in a professional studio. Being penniless, as usual, Siren cut the cost by doing the half price all-night sessions. Memories of a lot of coffee and biscuits, being shaken awake every few hours to stagger over to an instrument and try to remember which song you were supposed to be recording. The album sold at Vinyl Demand, Odd Volume, Subway Records and at the Women’s Centre.
