Did anyone see this news story?
TRNSMT organiser Geoff Ellis, defended having two women performing over the whole weekend by saying more women need to be "picking up guitars" and "playing in bands".
Personally I think that's bollocks, there were tons of great albums by female artists this year, but I don't know what people were expecting from the predictable lad-rock midden that is TRNSMT?
So, should music festivals strive for a gender balance? Personally I don't see why they cant given the wide variety of music out there these days, but then again I'm definitely not the TRNSMT demographic....
