 The story of the classic lesbian duo the Indigo Girls is told with humour and heart, through a blend of archival material and camcorder footage shot by Amy Ray herself.

It's the early 1990s. You're queer, you're closeted and the news is full of gay bashing. Who are you listening to on your Sony Walkman? The Indigo Girls! Amy Ray and Emily Saliers met in school and spent the next three decades breaking hearts and stirring souls with their raw lyrics and gorgeous harmonies. But things weren't always as glamorous as they seemed, with misogyny, the religious right and other personal demons playing their part. New fans will be surprised by just how on the money the Indigo Girls remain, while old fans will enjoy singing along ('I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains…'). This is country music at its queerest: big hair, big heart and a truck load of guitar.

This event takes place at the Exchange Theatre, Twickenham, from 8pm on Friday 19 April.
