She Sings Sheffield, a live music event for exclusively female performers showcasing their original works, was held for the first time on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The concert took place on the 25th of November at the Water Bear Live Room, and was organised and performed by four female students.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After such a successful year for women in music, with artists such as Charli XCX and Sabrina Carpenter dominating the charts, they wanted to replicate this on a smaller community scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the organisers, Alice Ede, said they hoped that the event might inspire more women to join the music industry. She said: \u201cIt\u2019s important because women aren’t given that platform when they\u2019re starting out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alice went on to talk about the extent of male-dominated line-ups in the music industry. She added: \u201cIt\u2019s really important that we give the push for younger and upcoming artists and celebrate women.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another organiser expressed concern over the lack of female students on her university course. Music student Savannah Dion, speaking about the event, said: \u201cI feel like it’s much needed. We really hope to bring change.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis event tonight gives women a place to feel safe and do what they love without fear of being judged.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event attracted an audience of around 30 people. One audience member said she felt the show \u201cgave a very good message\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another performer, Josephine, said: \u201cWe put this event to share our music to other people but also other women to help encourage them to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The musicians behind the event said that all the performers and audience members enjoyed the show and expressed their hope to hold similar events in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
