Stories From the She Punks

Film screening + Discussion with Gaye Black and Helen McCookerybook

Stories from the She-Punks is a documentary about the women who played in punk bands in the first wave of punk between 1976 and 1982. Completed by Gina Birch (The Raincoats) and Helen Reddington in 2016, it features interviews with most of the key British punk women guitarists, drummers, bass players and more. In their own words we hear about forming bands, learning to play, rehearsals, gigs and record deals: and just how tough it was for them in a rock music world of playing instruments that had previously belonged almost exclusively to male musicians.

Presented by John Peel Centre.
