We are organizing Ladyfest in Glasgow 2012. Join us!

I was thinking that the line-up of Stag-and-Dagger was looking awfully male-dominate this year, so I did some back-of-an-envelope maths. Out of twenty-six total headlining artists (each band member counting as one artist), one (one) is a lady. That is 3.8% girl. Out of non-headlining artists, ten out of seventy-seven are women: 12.9% chick.

Ah, well,  I was cross, but then I remembered that women do only make up about 3-10% of the over-all population of the UK, right? Right?

Ladyfest Glasgow is a female dominated music festival to be held in the autumn 2012. It is an opportunity to celebrate all the great female musicians, performers and bands that we have in Glasgow.
