female (1)

Friday 8th April 2016 see our successful monthly "Gabriel Moreno & Frank Hutson Presents" turn the focus on female performers.

Artists confirmed to play so far:

  • Gitta de Ridder will host and play
  • Echo Wants Her Voice Back will headline the event (Eleni Skarpari)
  • Catherine Rudie will grace us with her voice and modern tunes
  • Madelaine Smith will enchant
  • Gabi Garbutt will show us what it means to find a unique and uncompromisingly strong musical identity and voice
  • Emma Skemp will play heavenly flute
  • Penny Dyer & Lana will add classical class
  • Hattie Marsh will poison us :) (see her video below)
  • Annie and I will kill us with poetry
  • Kirsty Allison will resurrect us


Gabriel speaks from the heart, see below:

We are passing over our Gabriel and Frank's monthly music and poetry night to female musicians and poets in the music scene. Because there is too much testosterone in the folk/americana/country/blues and jazz scene, because we think the future is not a male patriach power based tough and emotionless turd affair, because we love the voices and songs of our wondrous female artists and because we celebrate womanhood. If you want to perform, send us a message. Night begins at 8pm as usual. The wondrous Gitta de Rider will be hosting this event organised by female singer songwriters too. We are just helping to spread the word. There will be lush vegan food available and all are welcome. xxx

Frank steps in with facts and figures courtesy of The Association of Independent Music:

'Despite notable female successes in the music industry, research has made it clear that we still have a long way to go before we have gender equality.

61% of those working in the music industry are male*
In areas such as management, promotion and the live sector this imbalance increases, with only 30% of the workforce being female**

Research conducted by the Cultural Leadership Programme found that male leaders in the creative industries outnumbered female leaders by two and a half to one in 2009

Women working within the music industry are more likely to have a level 4, or higher, qualification than their male counterparts, but despite this 47% of women working in music earn less than £10,000 per year (compared to 35% of men).**
