the jury and click 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, but we 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 come for 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 and it's printing just on the call. okay. it'll close out. but john, it's going to bring us alone and i'm bringing up. i come from. i think in the beginning i knew that are all low to barry as to why women to get up on stage and join bands and the bar is all huge. so whether that's who is helping an instrument having it and i'm to find knowing how it works. taking time to learn things and people's help here of 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 . busy even something as simple as sound checking, like developing really good sound check technique and knowing when to start playing so that you can listen to the rest of your band. having the confidence to say, actually can i get that more of like a 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 herself having time on her hands. i think society says, well, if you eliminate the 50, you do certainly make knots, quilts un a, you know, you go out to the gym involved and drink gin with your friends. and so you go

around an ancient house is it looks on t since or you do yoga and keep fed till you go to on. joking this, this and things the, it feel over 50. they all good help ease those conclusions. but that never seemed 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 had to go. she hasn't missed it until now. everybody thinks this is meant to the last got this fantastic. i did,

but it doesn't happen that it does say something that's involved days that appears you've time if you're not so. so if i write some really simple songs, because you can write songs in the pump tradition of me. um, just one cool, very simple bait on teach some women who have never played before. how to play one string on the base, or just a very successful and be till new drugs you could make it. so it took an interesting and then much enjoy the roots workshops and online courses have drawn in more and more women the ring. here it is a, a good. the

on the on glamorous music project has found a home at stay free music studios, a former soc factory that now runs out rehearsal rooms to bands. by the hour. mental load is doing its dress rehearsal. chloe lou matt and libby had been playing together for just a few months and are having trouble with the equipment. thank goodness, there's chrissy. she lives around the corner and is a long time member of the project. i. she and sophie our roots, trusted assistance. chrissy dials and the sound everything should feel just like it will let the concert on sunday. i suggest that definitely definitely experience

a whole mixture of different things because as i'm you know, off i can mark propagation so this is the one piece of it. it's kinda cool. christy has been playing music all her life chrissy has been playing music all her life. she barely survived the serious accident when she was 13. her face and body were badly burned. i suppose news, it was kind of my escape from day to day reality because of my visible difference. i thought bullied a lot when i was at school. so use, it was kind of my go to place to feel better when i'm thinking about and start my to, you know, and i've had that experience a few times. some people, when i've signed in bands years ago, uh they've come up and they're like, wow, you know how to really bad day, but just listening to saying, made me feel really, really good and thank you for that or not. if we go down here,

is it the rehearsal rooms? oh, the rehearsal rooms has got different colors to them. and the 1st one is the of interim and not. and also we have all the pedestal of everything that's happening. the governor's projects, as we saw it here, each band progressed as it went from room to room, orange green blue until it finished in the black room. the one with the real stage, lester 16 female punk bands all got there. start here with ruth. this is a library, this is where it all saw its size. you can say we go seats around the size and the old ladies come in, he a verse. teaches has a chat with everybody. finds out what everybody, what instruments they can play,

what instruments they like to learn to play, and the all thoughts here in the library. and this is beginning of one of all songs when we all women and why room. we play in a back. because we want to been serious so much to get to have a we are with in why room the big concert is just 5 days away. and there's been a surprise development nodding, them's legendary club rough trade has contacted christie asking whether her band, virginia's wolves could play a gig their band member. deena can hardly believe it or 2 boys are less impressed. it's crazy. i'll get taurus onto lucy. she's still a little high, 2 weeks ago. the

a name is huge. bombs, mostly fine. this is just right. it's just this moment where this is taking us using what we saw last, john, you raise the boat february. we saw it the way to get it on that stage was like an out of body experience was not sweet rush. it was pretty. i done little things at primary school high school. i got into a recall on the stage and, but this is just like something, you know, i've come from really, you know, you have children. i know women will say there's no be no woman who says any different hot, you know, just by it is the, do you lose your identity up to you? they become mom. you don't have a name anymore. you don't have a name. you'll know the moments between your serving so and obviously exactly the same. yeah. not what my kids really oh you know, i had no name. i had no tough dina managers to carve a few hours out of

a week for band practice at the concert. her ex husband isn't always pleased when asked me to take the kids. i asked them 6 days. but if i want 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 prisoner in my own house. i'm not upset me any notice from managed to unlock. sanderson, lester is proud to be known as the capital of female punk bands. thanks to the on the glamorous music project. the city's 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 shutter for 15 months. the nothing they have come about because of cove it and i think because this

is less that there was up 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, sweet. and i wanted to talk about the disk of the 1st time she thought the stories right? come on, then i said if it were me and

they have a dream after either way for break time break time, what do you do? the concert and nodding them is this evening. dean is ex. we'll come by soon to pick up the kids. there's only a little time for dina to arrest we. it's without the bond stuff. i think i'd be so unhappy i'd struggle. it brings me so much joy bridges so much happiness. braces, how many friends and my social life, you know, they were my best friends now and a, as a single parent, a very lonely people that will know you anymore. you know, they the fine and there around when babies a little. but, you know, the last, yes,

since virginia, as wells i found tripe, i found the community of women, rough afraid and nodding them is a legendary club. virginia, as well as 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 the 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 uh who unfortunately, is poorly today and isn't going to be able to join us. he's the old watkins 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 little bit for our next wonderful bands tonight . a concert booth out tongue mountain room in a different city in front of a different crowd.

the . 2 the we would use the

album please by the out just by a we the, the, you in every, the album, there it is. the me, oh my god. i think he has blown up to something incredible. something the and i mean the idea that root hot is blown up to a point where she never envisage this. we know the end business days. so i think he's probably gonna go out of some more as well. i definitely believe he's going to going to move. so yeah, we're here to take her to the whoa. the

i'm not trying to tell in the music industry, industries out there. this great play is great. so ride to spite musician. all i'm doing is gray. he again, 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 valid. i'm the songs off codes this impulse, the very good um and that's what show up to 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 though it has. yes. this big chunk of it have a great to do a workshop, hateful women who's been taking drugs for one. it's not a mixture of people to be doing lessons with late, who knows the basics, but maybe help them placing the pound, but also allowed to be played in bands with no, no,

they took the basics. so i'm not very 1st day when you came to the unglamorous workshop and i just said, oh, he's the sticks. got boom, boom, boom. i didn't give them the information about how to help the stick. so and the is not so well kept me. alice said, thanks very much me for inviting me to to come along today. um. okay, so let's just say for super simple. absolutely. really doesn't matter what it is. the women drummers are rare. there are few role models. ok. quite random across to that . i mean, you guys have probably done a lot of this already. i mean, you're only in bonds, so 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 smooth with the least amount of time to cumbersome action from the home. okay, so i can see a lot of what we would refer to was the french timpani method, full of hardware you put in. that's the payback time for is really good way to think of it. because no matter how stressful words you might be about the performance, you know, that has to the task to be, to put in gentlemen 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 him 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 there? what, what kind of places are they going to does? does the 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, a place for female musicians to grow and then disperse and do other things when she, that makes a big hole, it will happen. so it's just really excellent in the whole things just like it's 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 guess i what race wants today? so i went to should be here on minute just yeah. she's going to wait and wait and find out. yeah, yeah. i'm fine site should not find somebody who can do this is going to be too heavy samantha. oh yeah. so it with them. so it was i so 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

phones phase. always say 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. there beverage need to just play some songs with some women in a box. so why the call now is crazy. much so many uninstalled,

so it's been so big. you've never stayed on the stage before. all the women is never been in the bomb the pool because this is the stall to bit. you come on say you sing with us, you told the bands the what no one know is that this was to be roots last performance.

the some i lived with me and get something done. if i could draw us something like that, that would carry on. that would be my lot of same really. so yes, a soft with problem with the very nose, but i've kind of moving towards in spa at the people in the room to lift the music and gums maybe of the

in good shape. it keeps guessing wholesome, which can be dangerous. how high temperatures affect all these things as we'll face? nope, just to stick elderly and children. how can we please the heat that spoke in good shape coming up on d, w. there are many opportunities. what if, what if i buy a lot some so much? i don't find my grandson. leaving home can be contemptuous,

but for different reasons. any child would then go to another country, she hop on. why would that be good? i'm afraid that she would be murdered or kidnapped us in the when generations flush the on the long voyage through the ocean and mother, i'm back with account for a long time. they had to be humans on the journey. but now the premises have become very protect the ocean consultation
