OH YEAH SEEKING A FEMALE PUNK STORY
The Oh Yeah Music Centre is putting a call-out for people to help tell the female side of the Northern Ireland punk story, as part of an exhibition to be launched at the forthcoming Women’s Work festival.
Oh Yeah CEO Charlotte Dryden says, “The story of Belfast punk is well documented and has inspired countless bands and music lovers around the world. The NI Music Exhibition has successfully celebrated and honored the bands and the scene, but admittedly very few females have featured. It has been an ambition of ours for a while to dig deeper into the story by seeking out the women from this particular era of punk. We have no idea how many stories will come to us, but we know they are out there. This is a very exciting project for us and we can’t wait to see what comes from this call out.”
Those interested are invited to share stories, memorabilia, clothing, photographs, posters, badges or anything else relevant, up until 11th May, with a view to being included in the exhibition launching on Tuesday 5th June.
For more information or to send submissions, get in touch with Charlotte Dryden.
