Girls To The Front
Cornish bank in Falmouth is hosting Girls to the front, on 28th January. “Girls to the Front is an empowering event celebrating women in music. The event includes four incredible local acts; Arianna and Hannah, Morning Cat, Petrea and Shoes Off!
The goal is to create a supportive community for female musicians filled with powerful and creative performances. Come and support local talent, enjoy the range of acts and listen to some amazing music.
Fundraising for graduate film 'Glitter Grunge'; a comedy short film in collaboration with Falmouth University about four childhood best friends in a girl rock band. This uplifting female focused event directly reflects the heart of the film, supporting female musicians while grounding the film in an authentic and empowering music scene!”

A major impact of these crises is on women and gender equality.
