When some UK festivals recently revealed their line-ups, there were the familiar cries of where are all the women ?
One of those in the spotlight was Kendal Calling in Cumbria, whose first swathe of acts was predominantly male.
Emma Zillmann, the festival s booker, admits the criticism was completely valid . I feel the same way, she says. I have this conversation every year. It s not changing quickly enough.
