“A DIY collective that champions women in music by hosting live events that are fun, friendly and frickin’ awesome,” is how Loud Women describe themselves.
Those gigs, launched in October last year by Cassie Fox of The Wimmins’ Institute and Thee Faction, were part of the We Shall Overcome weekend of anti-austerity events staged all over Britain.
“I looked at the list of gigs — hundreds of them — all starring men with guitars, male DJs, male organisers and I thought I’d try putting on a women-led live music night at the Silver Bullet in London’s Finsbury Park,” says Fox.
