Another Country
Issue number 1 of the new St. Helens magazine GLASSEYE will be available before Christmas in St. Helens libraries and the town centre book shop. This launch edition features 20 pages of photographs from the now legendary period of creative activity that happened in St. Helens between 1982 and 1995.
The film ‘ANOTHER COUNTRY’ is now also available to watch online. It tells the story story of a not-so-quiet revolution. It is a documentary account of a particularly memorable period of music and culture in St Helens, a township among the many which sprang up across Northern England in the Industrial Revolution. In the 1980’s and 1990’s an exciting, unexpected and uniquely wonderful scene developed in the town, apparently from nowhere, and here it is in all its wayward spontaneity, as told by the surviving “actors” in that scene, with material from the period, and brought into the present with an optimistic glance into the future. Can culture make history? And then make it again? “Another Country” says Yes.
Also, have a look at the Creative Underground project itself.
