This week, Katie challenges Joe to come up with a show that features Celtic performers that happen to be women. Since there are so may incredibly talented women out there, it wasn’t a difficult challenge. However, this often doesn’t play out in festivals and airplay: most of the time, the performers are men. A group of Irish women started the FairPlé movement to encourage promoters and broadcasters to give equal time to female performers as they do the men. After an in-depth conversation with Irish song master, Niamh Parsons, Katie and Joe established a “FairPlé Score”, where the goal is to have a 50% male/female ratio. This week, we hit a full 100.This week, we feature the women performers: Liz Carroll & Jake Charron, Aoibheann & Pamela Quelly, Julie Fowlis, Sophie & Fiachra + André Marchand, Verena Commins & Julie Langan, De Danann, Bumblebees, Emer Mayock, Celia Ramsay & Shay Black, Lucie Périer, Arz Nevez, Gwennyn, Silver Arm, and Cherish the Ladies.
