Punk Band Project is an opportunity for teenage girls to do just this. It’s a space to do something real, very fast.

It took Rachael Clerke 25 years of really wanting to be in a punk band before it occurred to her - in an inspired of moment of staggering simplicity - that she could just start one. So she did. She formed The Great White Males - the drag king punk band that now feature in her show Cuncrete - and made herself the lead singer. She decided not to worry about being good, or looking good, or being talented, or having experience. Consequently she realised that life’s a lot more fun if you stop worrying about these things so much.

Embracing noise, chaos, angst and joy. Punk Band Project Takes form in a day long punk-band-forming, song-writing, zine-making, screaming-into-a-microphone workshop facilitated by Rachael and musician Daisy Moon. They will conclude with a public performance, because what’s the point unless you can shout it at the world.

There will be time for stumbling, falling over and shyness, but there will be more time for dressing up, shouting and hitting things.

Who is it for?
