 On the 10th anniversary of Women in Tune, is a single-sex festival the best way to encourage women musicians?
Forget Glastonbury, Leeds and Reading - for the last ten years hundreds of women have made the trip to rural Wales for the female-only music festival Women In Tune. Crowds are entertained by all-women bands and take part in workshops run by women artists, all of it facilitated by women sound engineers and producers.
But is a single sex environment the best way to encourage women in what many see as a male dominated music industry? Ritula is joined by the founder of Women in Tune Heather Summers and popular musicologist Sheila Whiteley.
