The Oh Yeah Music Centre has announced the details of its fifth Women’s Work programme. The festival, which is an annual celebration of women in music, will take place online, across four days and nights and includes showcases, gigs, special events, panels, talks, and workshops. One of the highlights will include a collective cover of the Kate Bush classic ‘Running Up That Hill’. Following a call out for participants, Women’s Work will showcase the results as an online effort led by Katie Richardson (who can normally be found lighting up stages as her alt-pop alter ego Hex Hue). The video will support efforts to raise funds for Women’s Aid.
Women’s Work is also launching an application process for a new initiative - NI Electronic Workshop led by Emmy-nominated and RTS winning composer Hannah Peel. Dani Larkin will launch her highly anticipated debut album ‘Notes for a Maiden Warrior’ and the Oh Yeah Getting To Know series will run two events that will feature an exclusive with Pillow Queens (who recently rocked The Late Late Show with James Corden/Smithy From Gavin & Stacey) and another session with Dani Larkin.
The list of events goes on and includes presentations, talks and advice sessions from the likes of Safe In Sound, Nadia Khan & Claire Rose (Women in CTRL), Francesca O'Connor (Make Waves Management) and Gemma Bradley (ATL Introducing/BBC Radio 1).
Charlene Hegarty, Talent Development Manager at Oh Yeah and the festival’s coordinator said - “Women’s Work is a celebration of the multi-genre females at work, both on and off the stage, in Ireland. I am delighted it's back for a 5th year and burning brighter than ever. The programme is just a snapshot and it brings me incredible joy to work in collaboration with these talented and creative women. I hope you enjoy what we have planned for you."
The Online Festival runs 17th – 20th June 2021.
A fresh new website goes live on Monday 17th May.
