Featured artists include:
Anne Pigalle is a London-based French singer, performance artist, and writer known for her sultry voice and bohemian flair. Emerging from the post-punk scene, she gained prominence in the 1980s after signing with ZTT Records, home to avant-garde acts like Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Her debut album Everything Could Be So Perfect blended chanson, jazz, and pop, wrapped in smoky, cinematic moods. A regular at Soho’s underground haunts, Pigalle embodies a decadent, art-house mystique. Beyond music, she explores erotica, poetry, and cabaret, cementing her status as a cult icon whose work fuses sensuality with sharp, uncompromising artistry.
Helen McCookeryBook born Helen McCallum in Newcastle upon Tyne, is a British musician, singer-songwriter, and academic. She co-founded the punk band The Chefs and later formed Helen and the Horns. After a hiatus, she resumed her solo career in 2005. As Dr. Helen Reddington, she lectures at the University of East London and authored "The Lost Women of Rock Music" and "She's at the Controls". She co-directed the documentary "Stories from the She-Punks". Her work spans music, academia, and feminist advocacy.
