It’s been an amazingly busy month at Unglamorous Music – so here’s a rapid rundown of what’s been going on!
Members of different bands, and founder Ruth have been interviewed by a huge number of different media companies. Here’s some links:
It started when Positive News published an article and then this week named Ruth Miller one of 15 inspirational women for International Women’s Day.
On the day itself, 8th March, we launched a Kickstarter project to raise the money to make a sampler album with eight of the Leicester all-women bands on it. It’s an ambitious project, and we’re in need of some big inputs in the next two weeks if the Kickstarter is to become successful.
The launch event was a gig featuring 12 all-women bands from Leicester – and five of them were playing their debuts. The venue moved the gig to the larger downstairs space in order to be able to have 300 in the audience and even then, people were turned away.
The bands were all brilliant and we’re looking forward to many more live gigs in Leicester over the next few months. Here’s the end of the night with The Verinos eventually having a stage invasion!
