This image set depicts the cover, front and back, and cassette tape of Siren’s music release ‘Siren in Queerstreet’. It shows a list of the 13 tracks on the cassette, which included songs from some of the plays as well as songs composed by various members of Siren, and performed by Siren band. The tape was recorded at Newhaven Boys’ Club and at Real Time Studio Billingshurst. Cover photo by Susy Taylor. This cassette was a mixture of home recording done by Deb Trethewey on a two track Sony reel-to-reel tape recorder, as well as some professionally recorded tracks at recording studios.

This shows two reviews, from The Stage and The Scotsman of Siren’s Play ‘Mama’s Gone A’Hunting”. The Stage review was completed at The Marlborough in Brighton and the Scotsman at University Chaplaincy Centre in Edinburgh. The Stage reviewer queried the choice of the name Siren, saying it seems odd for a company ‘promoting the feminist cause’. Given that the origin of Siren in Greek mythology was a creature (part woman, part bird) who lured sailors to destruction by the sweetness of her song, the company felt that this was a very appropriate name for the company, which combined feminism and music to make their radical points!
