the details at this point of the find it here repos every weekend on d w the it's a special concert. ruth miller is back on stage at age of 61, appearing with her punk band. the marino said we couldn't do it by the way did and she wants more women to do it no matter what their age, even if they've never played an instrument before. she says it's high time for women to conquer the stage. the

roof, the tongue founded the unglamorous music project. the gig featuring all 16 bands is a week away. many here have only begun to play an instrument recently. sophie helped organize the event on brand new stuff done in my car. i've got another call in the spring just on the call. okay. it'll coats out of town. but john, it's going to bring us along and i'm bringing up. i come from, i think in the beginning i knew that are all loads of barry as to why women to get up on stage and join bands. and the battery is all huge. so whether that's who is helping an instrument, having it and i'm putting fund and knowing how it works,

taking time to learn things. and people's help here, knowing who to go to knowing what to do. and so the young drummers project was about removal. the battery is i didn't realize how much was in the. busy even something as simple as sound checking, like developing really good sound check technique and knowing when to start playing so that he can listen to the rest of your band. having the confidence to say, actually can i get that more than length of time and the monitors the rest of the day belongs to roots, daughter izzy, who has moved out of her mother's place. after spending decades, having a career teaching primary school and raising our children, ruth is retired as a pensioner. she suddenly finds yourself having time on her hands. i think society says, well, if you're illuminated the 50 you do so ring, you make notes, quilts, you and you know,

you go out to jen balls and drink gin with your friends or you go around. an ancient house is and look who's on t since or you do yoga and keep fast to you guys, just joking this, this and things that if you'll over 50, they all good help ease those conclusions that never seem to be a healthy way. you would learn the musical instrument and play together with people . and that's exactly what ruth. she found in the band, the reno, a genuine women's punk fan. the she played in lots of bands when she was young. she found that the bands po and the roots refrigerator and torture. then she became a mother and punk rock to go. she hasn't missed it until now. everybody

you know, i had no name. i had no person you were trying to get over dina managers to carve a few hours out of a week for band practice and a concert her ex husband isn't always pleased when i take the kids. and i asked him 6 days or 2 weeks. but if i wanted to do something, we'd have to do that. oh, i don't remember. i have to be stuck at home. i'm sorry, i didn't realize i was me a prisoner in my own house. i'm not upset many notice from that he's not lock sanderson lester is proud to be known at the capital of female punk bands. thanks to the on the glamour of music project. the cities image in britain is a great. it's set to be run down and poor in 2020 lester officials impose the country longest, coded locked down on the city tubs and restaurants remain shuttered for 15 months. the

nothing they have come about because of cause it and i think because it is that there was a to take sheila and about cove it then drew on know belong to that women have locked down was very hard on single mother's like dina. there was no child care for months and as a teacher, she had to run online classes from home. she's happy her boys can once again go next door to dina's mother in the afternoon. sweet. sweet, sweet. sweet sort of wanted to talk about the disk of the 1st time. you've had the stories, right?

the last year since virginia schools i found tripe, i found a community of women, rough afraid and nodding them is a legendary club. virginia, as wells are joined by 2 other bands from the unglamorous collective the it's time to open the doors, then take the stage, but there is bad news. okay, well good evening everybody, and welcome to rough trade notes again, how are we saying that's math? my name's sophie, i'm in one of the 3 bands playing tonight. the crisis we're going to kick things off imminently. i'm just gonna say a quote. couple of quick quotes at the beginning on behalf of our glorious found a brief miller who who unfortunately is poorly today

isn't going to be able to join us. he's the old work into organizing this and in fact, organizing the entire pro, program and projects. but unfortunately, she comp joined us tonight. the thank you very much, everybody with a wonderful, lovely audience. thank you for supporting us. go get a drink and then come back into the to bit for our next wonderful bands tonight. the concert without punk mountain rooms in a different city in front of

a different crowd. the . 2 the we do the,

the, the body out just by a we the, the, you in every the album there it is, the name you oh my god. i think he has blown up to something incredible. something the, i mean, the idea that roots hot is blown up to a point where she never envisage days. we know the end business days. so i think it's probably gonna go out of some more as well. i definitely believe it's going to grow simple. so yeah, we're here to take part of the wow. the,

i'm not trying to challenge the music industry industries out there. this great play is great. summarizes by musician. all i'm doing is gray. she did with a very, very small. this is possible, isn't it? this is, this is a form of music created by a different group of people that don't normally make music on. it is violet. i'm the songs off codes this impulse. they're very good. um and that's what shocked me . i think when i started how good songs all the concert is tomorrow. ruth has organized the drum workshop with a professional drum. okay, cool. do i have? yes. this big chunk of the has agreed to do a workshop, hateful women who been taking drugs for, well, it's not that it's a mixture of people to be doing lessons with the lady who knows the basics,

but maybe help them place in the fund. but also to be paid in bonds with no, no, they took the basics. so on the very 1st day when you came to the unglamorous workshop and i just said, oh he's the sticks guy. boom, boom, boom. i didn't give them the information about how to help the stick so and the it's not so well kept me. alice said, thanks very much me for inviting me to to come on today. um. okay, so let's just pass by schafer. super simple. absolutely. it really doesn't matter what it is, the women drummers are rare. there are few role models. okay. quite round of a pool. so that i mean, you guys have probably done a lot of this already. i mean, your role in bonds that you will rehearsing. definitely. you will probably gigs,

so anyone here has not played live yet. ok. thanks to the unglamorous music project . more and more women are becoming lead students. but getting really relaxed and let the stick do that. yeah. make, make it's moving with the least amount of time to come to some action from the home . okay, so i can see a lot of what we would refer to as the french temp in the method. full hardwood you put in. that's the payback time for it. it's a really good way to think of it because no matter how stressful worried you might be about the performance, you know, that has to be the put in dealing mean at the end of it. and that, that's not, that's not not, that's what the performance is. so i don't get to have a good time. i'm really interested to see over the coming weeks, months and years. how, how those individual musicians then develop, you know, where does it go from that? what, what kind of places are they going to does?

does the young glamorous project become? is there a sound this inherent with it, for instance, you know, does that become a certain genre tag, you know, particular sound a way of working? or is, does it just become a kind of a, a place for female musicians to grow and then you know, disperse and do other things when she made somebody who will happen. so it's just really excellent in the whole things just like it is almost like quickly, you know it's, it's just lovely to say it's large the next morning there was a meeting at the fire bug pub hosting the big concert, the drums, amps, cables instruments. ruth packed the cars this morning. now it's time to unload. but where to put everything

what's in it? i know what race wants today, so i went to should be here on minutes just yeah. she's going away. i'm waiting. find out. yeah, yeah, i'm fine. so i should not find somebody who can do this is going to be 206 with himself. so it was i, sorry, basically. now we roll out. it's all set to go and have a chat with them. time for a sound check. to

the, to change the route spans the group that kicked off everything 2 years ago takes center stage the

size of the space for the biggest was like the fact that like golf. my mom is crazy . may like this. only to involve less than 2 and a half years ago. i need to just play some songs with

some women in a box. so why the call now is crazy. much so many understand. so it's been started big if you've never seen on the stage before, all the ready women is nothing in the bomb, the full because this is the stall to bit. you come on stage, you sing with us, you pulled the bonds, the the,

what? no one know is that this was to be roots. last performance, the summer. i lived with been get something done. if i could draw us something like that, that would carry on. that would be my life a really? so yes, a stuff to a problem with the 3 knows, but i've kind of moving towards in spa at the people in the room to lift the music and gums maybe
