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.
This shows Tash Fairbanks, Jude Winter, Jane Boston and Deb Trethewey about to have breakfast in a friend’s house after performing in London the previous night.

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 black and white photo shows Jane Boston, Jude Winter, Tash Fairbanks and Deb Trethewey checking the map before heading off somewhere for a performance.
This photo was taken in front of Siren’s ancient touring van. On one tour, Siren went from venue to venue on the back of an AA van, due to constant breakdown problems with the vehicle.
