New breakfast event for music community kicks off on Sunday
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 14 November 2014
A new industry event kicks off this weekend at The Jam Tree in Chelsea called the Sunday Girl Breakfast Club, which aims to provide a regular forum for London’s female singers, songwriters and musicians to exchange ideas and advice.
Organisers say the new event is about “bringing female musicians and creatives together for a unique experience in which they can all support each other, and encourage each other… a welcome break from a career in which competition can be all too consuming”. In amongst breakfast, networking and chatting, each event will include a few talks and live performances.
The new event is one of a number of initiatives to provide a forum and voice for women working in the music business, an industry which – despite many of its biggest selling acts being female – is still a male-dominated industry, and one that is still routinely accused of sexism.
The organisers go on: “Of course, just because SGBC is supporting women, doesn’t mean the chaps can’t get involved! If any males want to show their support for creative females, they are absolutely welcome. So any male or female session musicians, music students, arrangers, lyricists, producers, engineers, photographers, journalists, website creators, stylists, promoters, anyone who may want to network with artists and songwriters, are all of course welcome to join in the festival of oestrogen”.
The first edition is this Sunday, 16 Nov at 11am. Entry, including breakfast, is £6. Find info on the group’s Facebook page, or email [email protected]
