FLOOR and SheSaid.So go in conversation at Texture Manchester

FLOOR Music Talks partners up with global network SheSaid.So at Texture in Manchester on Saturday 24th September to discuss one of the industry's hot topics.

They will examine Pauline Olivero's seminal 1998 writing on females in music and ask what's changed in the last 18 years - what's working and what still needs to be done? Can we re-write the rules for shifting the male-focused paradigm in music for 2016, and do we even need them?

They have invited four females working at the top of the music industry today to trace progress through the years and to touch on the challenges they have faced. The panel is made up of:

Moxie: DJ, radio presenter and curator of 'On Loop' event series

Chloe Pensavalle: Founder, General Manager, Booking Agent and Events Manager at Annex Agency

Sarah McBriar: Founder and Festival Director of AVA

Ema Nosurak: Founder of artist management agency Bite the Apple

Wilf Gregory: Director of Metropolis, Hideout, Lost & Found, North Base 

The discussion will be moderated by Kim Khan and the music will be supplied by Meat Free DJs. 

The panel discussion will run 4pm-5pm and the networking will take place from 5pm-7pm.

Free tickets for the event are available below.
