The following items were donated to the archive by Dave Dale in 2022. The collection of 9 photos, taken by Dave Dale, depict a variety of marchers, musicians, artists and creatives walking along East Street in 1994. They were submitted via the Queer Heritage South website, with the following comment attached to each individual photo: "In 1994, the Pride march came along East Street, heading south. I owned a couple of bookshops in East Street ('Read All About It', at Nos 69 and 10), and we were about to move them into one bigger unit at No. 68. As the procession passed the shops, I took a few photos, as I had my camera with me, taking photos of the new shop's fitting-out. It was a wonderful day, with colour, laughter, noise and celebration filling the air. A day I've never forgotten." Context: Though originally described as a Pride march, these images are likely to depict the Children's Parade. The parade theme in 1994 was "Ship of Fools" If you recognise the parade and have any further details, please get in contact with us.

The review is positive about Siren’s first album “Siren Plays’, praising their "articulate, strong and witty political portrayal of women's issues in an exclusively musical context." The review ends with a promotion of the gig Siren was playing as a band with Brighton band, Rhythm Tendency at The Pavilion Theatre.

This is one of a number of posters used to promote Siren’s play ‘Mama’s Gone A’Hunting’. It is created in the form of an urgent telegram outlining the plot of the show, stating that woman intends leaving for a new planet without man. The digitally produced poster was felt to be a ‘new’ form of photography at the time that it was on the high street, predating all the digitisation of photos that are now done on one’s own devices. Siren felt it reflected the futuristic content of the play.

Two reviews about the play ‘Curfew’ when it opened at the Oval House Theatre, London. The review at the top of the image is from 'Spare Rib', published in March 1982. It features a photo of Jane Boston as Calamity Jane. The review at the bottom of the photo is from 'The Stage', published in February 1982.
