These Things Happen - book and zine

THESE THINGS HAPPEN:
THE SARAH RECORDS STORY
Published: AUTUMN 2023

The definitive history of Sarah Records. Sarah put out a board game, produced cut 'n' paste fanzines and stuck two fingers up to the mainstream music industry.

In These Things Happen, those who were there at the beating heart of the indie-pop world reveal the deepest, darkest secrets of what really went into making Sarah’s pop masterpieces. Featuring almost 130 interviews, including at least one member of every single band (as well as the world exclusive first interview with Christine of Christine’s Cat fame), this book is an oral history of a defining moment in pop history.

ZINE THINGS HAPPEN
PUBLISHED: EVERY THREE-FOUR MONTHS

Hot on the heels of These Things Happen, Jane launched an occasional indie-pop fanzine, to celebrate the musical achievements of former Sarah Records acts AND the exciting new music being created by younger bands in that scene. Zine Things Happen aims to be published three or four times a year, and is a full-colour, A5 burst of indie-pop frothiness. Pop music shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

SLEEVE NOTES

Jane loves writing the sleeve notes to indie-pop records, and has recently been pleased to writer the liner notes for records by bands including The Chesterfields (Precious Recordings of London), Christine’s Cat (Windmill Records) and The Sweetest Ache (Windmill Records). There are a few more in the pipeline, too. Do contact Jane if you would like to talk with her about writing the sleeve notes to your band’s record.
