Peter Bromley’s new documentary Various Songs is about 2 musicians, Pete Fij, former frontman of Adorable and Polak and Terry Bickers, guitarist with The House of Love and Levitation. Both are former label-mates of Creation Records, one of the most important record companies of the 80s and 90s. The film captures a highly creative time for the pair during which they release a new album. There is footage of Pete and Terry in the studio, interviews with them and key individuals who had a role in their musical life. Bromley’s film is a unique document of two musicians who are passionate about playing and recording music.
