Partnerships

The F-List for Music will constantly develop profile and professional opportunities for women in music by partnering with various organisations and initiatives.  The F-List is very grateful to be actively working with the following organisations:

GigRealm Co-Founder, Tom Brady said: “GigRealm is fully committed to creating opportunities for all musicians. We want to break down barriers wherever we can and make performing live easier and more accessible for everyone involved. Female musicians are hugely underrepresented and this new partnership with The F-List will allow us to help redress that imbalance.”

Silvana Kill, Director of Operations, NTIA and Savenightlife says: “The lack of female representation remains a continuous challenge throughout our industries and we are continuously looking for opportunities to develop initiatives to stamp out gender disparity across the board. This is why the NTIA and Savenightlife are delighted to partner with the F-List! This amazing initiative paves the way to open doors, promote and provide access to the vast pool of female talent out there.  It is initiatives like the F-List that drive towards a more balanced gender representation in Music and Entertainment and we look forward to finding further opportunities within our partnership to continue this great work.”

Independent Venue Week is a 7-day celebration of small music venues around the country, the backbone of the live music scene in the UK.  Sybil Bell Founder of Independent Venue Week says:

“The F-List encompasses everything we need to move towards making a lack of female representation a thing of the past. Independent Venue Week is so proud to be a partner of this brilliant initiative. We look forward to working closely with Vick, and her team, as we develop programs to ensure greater gender balance and more equitable representation across the industry.”

Scottish Women Inventing Music (SWIM) is a collection of female music creators and industry professionals, based in Scotland.  Hilary Brooks their Chair says:
