Tale Teller Club
Experimental arts and publishing network founded by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA, integrating music, fiction, visual art and digital archives under a single creative banner.
Overview
The Tale Teller Club originated as a cross-disciplinary collective combining sound art, narrative literature and independent broadcasting. Established in the early 2010s following the Brighton Arts Club era, it evolved from Sarnia de la Maré’s previous ventures—Goddamn Media and Pasha du Valentine Radio—into a formalised creative ecosystem linking music production, publishing, and visual culture.

Philosophy
The Club operates on a belief that storytelling and sound are acts of agency. Its projects often merge art and activism, exploring neurodiversity, gender identity, environmentalism and technology through a multidisciplinary lens. The motto “Books, Beats & Broadcasts” reflects its commitment to hybrid forms of expression that move fluidly between literature, music and film.
