A wake-up call for women in music: SWIM presents a special event with Vick BainWhy are women so under-represented in music? Music industry consultant and lecturer Vick Bain knows, and on Wednesday 19 February she’ll be sharing her discoveries at a special event hosted by Scottish Women Inventing Music (SWIM).Bain’s report, Counting The Music Industry, sent shockwaves through the music business when it was released in late 2019. Bain found that just 20% of artists signed to 219 record labels and 14% of the 12,040 writers signed to music publishers are female. During the SWIM event Bain will discuss why there’s such an imbalance, why it matters and what we need to do about it.The event will take place at the Scottish Music Centre in Glasgow’s Albion Street from 6pm to 8pm on 19 February. In addition to Bain’s presentation it will also include an introduction by SWIM founder Hilary Brooks, an interview with Help Musicians&#x27; Scotland Manager and SWIM Board Member Suzanne Miller , an open Q&amp;A and a networking opportunity.For more information please visit www.scottishwomeninventingmusic.com or email scotwim@gmail.com.//ends//Note to editors:About Vick Bain:Vick Bain has spent over two decades in the creative industries in a career that’s seen her inducted into the Music Week Women In Music Awards Roll of Honour and the BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour Music Industry Powerlist.
