Re:Vulva

This quartet comes fully loaded with talent, and they are taking aim at hyper-masculine culture that sees too many acts swagger around on stage like an 18th Century sailor home from sea.
​
These dazzlingly talented women present virtuosity, strength, and power in a language that is unashamedly and decidedly female. Their vision of the future is of a platform fit for the young women of tomorrow - so excuse us while we take just one minute of your time to peg our masculine counterparts to the wall!
​
RE:VULVA features Janice Burns on mandolin, Holly Clarke on vocals and guitar, Cathy Geldard on fiddle and Amy Thatcher on accordion, synth and drum pad. They reclaim the best classic folk tunes and refashion these and their own compositions with a squirt of millennial pop nostalgia. Each performance promises to be as sparkling as a brand new vajazzle....
