Dice announces Girls Music Day 2017
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 23 March 2017
Ticketing service Dice has announced the return of its Girls Music Day event, aiming to inspire more young women to enter the music industry. The event will include workshops, a jobs fair and Q&As with women who work in various areas of music.
Fewer than 5% of recognised record producers are female, only 13% of PRS’s 95,000 members are women, and men occupy 68% of music industry jobs. Hoping to shift these statistics in a more positive direction, speakers at the event will include singer-songwriters Rae Morris and Rosie Lowe, 1Xtra’s Sian Anderson and Latitude’s Lucy Wood.
“It’s always very inspiring to me when I get to talk in depth to other women in the music industry”, says Morris. “The only problem is that these conversations are few and far between. You can learn so much from other people’s experiences. I look forward to meeting and talking to the next generation of girls in music!”
The event takes place on 8-9 Apr. Places are free to women aged 16-24, click here for more info.
