thanks hugh, i appreciate your patience
Especially the point that girls and women do go to gigs and are interested in music. Everyone should read that again, because that is the crux of the issue.
washingcattle, I might remind you that this is our biog and ask you to refrain from picking random bits and pieces to try and throw shade:
Girls* Rock! Ireland wants to empower women* and girls* to discover their musical and artistic possibilities. ✓ Form Bands ✓ Write Songs ✓ Rock Out ✓
Description
Welcome to Girls* Rock! Ireland!
Not just in the music industry in Ireland, but in many different musical contexts women* and girls* are often assigned stereotypical roles of singer, fan or groupie.
We want to change that! We want to empower women* and girls* to discover their musical and artistic possibilities through learning instruments, writing songs, forming bands and performing. We want to demonstrate that every genre of music and every technical job and creative endeavor can be available to any girl* or women* that wants to explore it. We want to destroy the traditions and eradicate the myths that prevent women* and girls* from participating in the (until now) male dominated Irish and international music scene.
History: The first Girls Rock Camp was set up in Portland, Oregon, U.S. in 2001. Now there are over 40 rock camps in the U.S., aswell as Popkollo in Sweden, Ruby Tuesday in Berlin, Austria, Paris. Every summer, girls* participate in camps where they learn instruments, write songs, form bands, perform and rock out!
If you are curious, would like to see Girls Rock Camp Ireland get off the ground, or have a question, email [email protected]
FYI the GRCA site isn't down, it relaunched in late February.
