Dawn Landes

Lamenting the roll-back on women’s rights around the world folk singer-songwriter Dawn Landes re-imagines The Liberated Woman’s Songbook.

First published at the height of the Women’s Liberation Movement Landes’ smart and playful revision of this work leads us through a history of women’s activism, from the early 19th Century through to the peak of Women’s Lib in the 1970’s.

In concert Landes will be inviting different guest artists to join her and the band as they embody women from the past. This performance will feature very special guest Peggy Seeger, renowned folk singer and author of feminist anthem ‘Gonna Be An Engineer’.
