This week's show was a bit special - it's 100% women artists and female fronted bands. It's a response to a torrent of criticism about the underrepresentation of women in festival lineups and the weak argument that there are not enough women out there making music. They only have to look beyond Snow Patrol and Noel Gallagher and there is a multitude of great female musicians!
So, amongst the selections, there was #NewMusic from Bryde + Lanterns On The Lake, Katey Brooks, Eliza Shaddad, TRIXIE WHITLEY, Poppy Ajudha, Joya Mooi, Rose Elinor Dougall, Tusks + AnnaVR, Abimaro, Megan Henwood, Emma-Jean Thackray, Jenny Hval, Oddnesse, Tuva Finserås, Hannah Ashcroft, Josienne Clarke, Rachel Sermanni, Katie Spencer, RISE and Tuvaband.
Our Luvva Cover feature was a brand new release, by the brilliant Grace Carter, of a cover of a fabulous and very successful single by rnb singer Angie Stone. She gives the song a completely different vibe - give it a listen!
