CALL OUT: Old Chicks Funk Band
Deadline
Wed 10 Apr 2024Transform are collaborating with artist Sonia Hughes in exploring something fun, new and radical, and are looking for ace women to be a part of it.
“I’m starting something and I need your wonderful mind and body to help me think.
I’m starting a band. Maybe you want to be in it, maybe you’re just curious. I just want to chat, play music, ask questions, perhaps sing a song. NO MUSICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIRED.
I am 58, and I’m looking for people my age and older, but also open to some younger wild childs. It’s an all woman affair. Shy or tired ones, troublemakers, fat and thin ones, fearless and formidable all welcome. It will be fun and thoughtful, and it will be glorious to be amongst brilliant women in Leeds.” – Sonia Hughes
There are two options to come along and you will receive £50 for taking part, or £100 if you can make both. The hang outs will be space to share ideas and talk, as well as do some musical experimentation and have a good time together.
Sonia is researching ideas for a new performance, and taking part in this activity will inform her thinking about this, but does not guarantee being a part of the final show. It’s mainly a place to have fun, share ideas and make some music.
They will take place on Sunday 28th April & Friday 3rd May from 10am – 1pm, at which point we’ll finish and lunch will be provided, a space to unwind and reflect on the day. We’ll be meeting at Music House in Leeds. The address is: Music House, St Marks House, 1 St Mark’s Ave, Woodhouse, Leeds LS2 9BN. There is limited parking available on site.
To Apply, please fill in this short form here.
UPDATE: Due to a high volume of applications and limited space, we will be closing the applications earlier on Wednesday 10th April at 10am.
