think of a band. got one? ok - how many of the members are women? none of them? all of them? well, think of an all-female group. maybe little mix, the spice girls or girls aloud? see the problem with this? they all just sing! where are the women playing instruments? can you think of any all-female bands in which all the instruments are played by women??
hi! I'm charlotte - a gold arts award student, and I have a problem. I love music, whether it be rock or classical, playing the kazoo or the guitar - I surround myself with musical instruments and have concerts filling up my calendar. however, the music I listen to is hugely dominated by men.

Such an important issue to highlight. I'm into a similar genre of music and often find myself listening to all-male bands so agree - it's time for some change! How did you find the process of researching and creating this arts debate? :)
