Get In Her Ears to speak at Diamonds X Sessions event

London-based promoter Dance Like I’ve Got Diamonds, who’s built up a reputation for promoting exciting live female-dominated music nights in London (including headline sets from the likes of GIHE favourites The Franklys, Dream Nails and The Tuts), are now back with a new initiative to get more women involved behind the scenes in the industry.

A series of three music industry-focused events taking place at London’s Omeara, the new project is called Diamonds X Sessions and will consist of talks, panels and workshops open to anyone identifying as a woman or non-binary. The thought behind the initiative is to create a safe space that allows for women to meet and learn more about the industry whilst getting inspired by each other. Of the event, co-founder and project manager Lisa Lindfors explains:

“I believe that representation is crucial… We need to show young women that although the music industry might seem like one big boys club, there is definitely a future for women and non-binary people within it. With these events we want to show women that there are loads of opportunities out there and hopefully give them the confidence to pursue them”

Including names such as Ayelle (Artist/Songwriter), Carly Rockett (Communion Music), Luna Cohen-Solal (Warner Bros. Records), Joanie Eaton, Sarah Joy (Babelogue) and our very own Mari Lane and Kate Crudgington (!), the three events will be held at London venue Omeara on Sunday the 15th, 22nd and 29th April, and look set to be super inspirational and informative.

Us Get In Her Ears gals will be speaking at the event on Sunday 29th April. We’ll be talking all things GIHE; explaining how and why we got started, what we do, and answering any questions you may have. Look forward to seeing you there!

Where: In the Mezzanine Bar at Omeara, 6 O’Meara Street, London Bridge SE1 1TE

When: Sunday 15th, 22nd and 29th April between 15:30-19:30.

Tickets: £10/per event or £25 for all three events. These events are not for profit and any additional income, beyond the finances needed to cover the costs of the events, will be donated to the Malala Fund to further girls’ education around the world. Tickets are available here.

Dance Like I’ve Got Diamonds Present Christmas Extravaganza In Support Of Nia

Following a year filled with putting on events successfully promoting women in music, Dance Like I’ve Got Diamonds are now announcing their last event of 2017, taking place on 6th December at The Victoria, Dalston. In true Christmas spirit this last event will focus on giving back to society, with all net profits from the event going to women’s aid organisation Nia. As always, the event will feature a female dominated line-up, this time consisting of GIHE favourites Dream Nails and West London’s Baby Arms, plus some very special guests.

Recent events such as the #metoo movement have raised a new debate about what most women already knew, how extremely widespread the sexual, physical and psychological violence against women still is and that it can be found almost anywhere – especially in close relationships. With their Christmas Extravaganza event, Dance Like I’ve Got Diamonds wish to continue the debate about what can be done to end men’s violence against women, by giving back to their local community and supporting women’s aid organisation Nia, who specialise in helping victims of rape and domestic violence. 

And who better to headline this event that feminist punk witches, and absolute heroes of ours, Dream Nails. With their ‘Girls to the front!’ ethos and aim to create a safe-space for women and non-binary people at each and everyone of their shows, they’re bound to make this an event to remember. 

Tickets to the event on 6th December at The Victoria are available now from Dice, at £6 per person. All net profits from the event will go straight to the chosen charity Nia and their work towards ending violence against women and children.
