Hi there. At the GRCA Europe Conference in Sweden we met two members of Icelandic band Boogie Trouble, the bassist and singer. They are also team members of Iceland's Stelpur Rokka camp. It was really cool to meet them and hear about what they do in Iceland! Today they posted a cover of Toxic...

Hi there! We are doing lots of preparation work first, as we want it to be sustainable and long term, so haven't made any decisions about the age range yet!

Hi everyone, So, a bunch of us (5 of us) visited Sweden last week to learn more about setting up the music camp in Ireland / for the first GRCA (Girls Rock Camp Alliance) Europe, which took place in Skane near Malmo in the south of Sweden. We met up with feminist music activists from Iceland...

Hi Jill, thanks for your input. I did not insinuate the any female musicians that played were tokens. Personally, I feel the opposite - if the numbers are stacked against female musicians, they are less likely to get booked etc. So the ones that did make it on stage must have something special...

Hi everyone! I don't have time today to respond to some interesting points but just wanted to post this, with regards to sexism across different art forms, here is josie long being eloquent as usual: Scientician, if you want to count gender balance across different genres, be my guest :-) I...

...about (the gender breakdown of the line-up at this festival in relations to bands and individual musicians). Before developing an empowerment programme such as the girls* rock! project, you need to assess the current situation, in order to set goals and measure progress. Is this so hard to see?

Okay let me try one last time. I've actually spent some time writing this out and trying to make it really clear so here goes: Tokenism is defined as less than 15%. Under this number the token member of a discriminated group is forced to always be representing their group. So when you claim...

...gender identity as a man is wholly male. I didn't write cis-men, but "men". I think it's safe to assume these includes trans-men. However trans* visibility is also important. In terms of the article you read, and your question, I tried to not make the decision based on appearances, but rather...

@Mormen Nailor Tokenism tends to be less than 15%. Are you even aware of the concept of tokenism??? Honestly, you should take some time to read about it. Or you know, just stop talking. Please don't use transphobic language such as "hermaphrodites". If you don't know why this is transphobic...
