Check out Harriet and Alex's fab debut album, fusing Celtic-inspired fiddle melodies with minimalism and jazz. It's a delight to listen to! Harriet has helped out with SRoots events in the past, so it'd be great if we could send the support right back! https://t.co/jBKyx9ETi7

Well done @BITcollective1 @ronaruadh @jennbutterworth @rachel_newton_ . Great to see this getting coverage, really important work and well done to those brave enough to speak out. #tradstandswithher #itendsnow @CreativeScots @mralanmorrison

[Shooting Roots @ShootingRoots]

Great to see more conversations being had about this!

[Sarah Jones @SarahVJo]

Last Monday the pastoral team & I spent an hour talking to the National Youth Folk Ensemble about #TradStandsWithHer We opened up the discussion for all of the young musicians to add thoughts & ask questions. Challenging and an important thing to do, I think #YouthVoice @TheEFDSS

[The Sidmouth Folk Festival @sidmouthfolk]

The Sidmouth Folk Festival stands in solidarity with women in trad/folk music and the need for culture change.

We must not stay silent.
