episode 92: After Eight Show International Women's Day special Part 2
International Women's Day March 8th, 2021
To mark #IWD2021 on The After Eight Show, we approached a number of women in the Music Industry and invited them to record their thoughts and nominate a piece of their own music and/or a piece by a female artist who has inspired them.
The response was completely overwhelming!
So, as a result, you can listen to the considered thoughts of 22 women about the state of gender equality in music. They discuss their own experiences, hopes and fears for the future, and in some cases offer advice for young musicians building a career in this industry. Together with their chosen music, we have compiled their contributions into a 2 part special.
There are performers from the world of indie pop, metal, jazz, traditional and classical music. There are women from the world of music PR, artist management, music teachers and the boss of a London radio station who was a member of some prominent punk bands in the 70s - between them, they have a wealth of knowledge and experience of surviving and prospering in the music industry!
There are some wonderful stories to listen to. There is practical advice - resources for young artists to draw from and make use of, some very funny moments and some stunning music by the contributors themselves as well as inspirational music by Nina Simone, Tori Amos, Aretha Franklin, Alice Coltrane and many others.
