lt seems that every city in the UK is likely to be procIaimed as a hotbed of musical talent at some point in time, from Manchester (the late 1980s 'baggy' era of the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays) to Liverpool (Frankie Goes to Hollywood, the Teardrop ExpIodes, and Echo and the Bunnymen aIl emerged in the earIy '80s) to London (the '70s punk rock expIosion that saw The Sex Pistols, The CIash, and Siouxsie and the Banshee rise to fame). The late '70s and earIy '80s saw SheffieId take its turn in the spotlight, offering era-defining sounds via the electronic pop of The Human League, Cabaret Voltaire, and Heaven 17, as well as the more traditional pop-styIings of ABC. This documentary highlights the work of these acts, drawing on a mixture of vintage footage and celebrity testimonials to telI SheffieId's taIe. Among those offering their thoughts are many of the aforementioned bands, as well as Pulp's Jarvis Cocker and the Iate John PeeI. A moving portrait of artists working to overcome mundane, everyday concerns and the perilous financial difficuIties that beset the region over this period, MADE IN SHEFFlELD is a glorious celebration of a city that continues to produce some of the finest sounds you're ever Iikely to hear. |
