Curated by one of the minds behind Manchester Digital Music Archive, Abigail Ward as well as Rina Ladybeige (Social Service), Kath McDermott (BBC Radio 6 Music) & Chris Massey Music (Electriks) the party will boast a line-up of upcoming and established female musical souls playing multi-genre party starters in the basement and public bar.
The aim of the Suffragette City Party is to put together a fresh line-up on incredible female talent whilst also raising awareness of the barriers women face in the music industry.
Whilst drawing attention to this, as well as having a bloody good time, this event will be raising money for Women’s Aid to help the dwindling number of women’s shelters in the UK.
Suffragette City Party will take place at The Refuge on Saturday 9th March. The details of the two main events are as follows:
