Dressed in Black: The History of Goth with CATHI UNSWORTH
What it is
In an illustrated talk with video clips and images, Cathi Unsworth will explore the history of Goth, both in its 1980s incarnation, as documented in her book Season of the Witch, and the antecedents and descendents of this powerful strain of music, as further explored in Dressed in Black, the album she has recently compiled with Ace Records.
Cathi will explore how this music stands as a record of turbulent times, often told by women who have passed their stories down through generations and how it has been misconceived and why it will always be with us.
Copies of Cathi's book 'Season of the Witch' and the album 'Dressed in Black' will be available to buy at the Festival and there'll be a dedicated signing after Cathi's event.
