Event took place at Sandford holiday park in Poole and featured Shura and KT Tunstall
A rainy caravan park on the south coast of
England might seem an unlikely place to make a feminist statement. But this weekend, at Sandford holiday park in Poole, an uprising of women in
music took place with Hear Her festival, an all-female line-up of artists from across a spectrum of folk, pop and indie rock.
Backed by Diva magazine, the event was co-curated by musician KT Tunstall and headlined by Manchester synth-disco artist Shura and Mercury-nominated Northern
Irish singer-songwriter Soak. As well as featuring only female-identifying acts, Hear Her was entirely curated and managed by women (and had female trainee sound engineers from the
Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts learning the ropes on the sound desk).
