Keychange movement for gender equality in music expands in Ireland
Five more Irish organisations have signed the Keychange Pledge – including the Choice Music Prize, Róisín Dubh and HearOne Music.
Keychange, a pioneering international initiative which encourages festivals and music organisations to achieve at least 50% women and under-represented genders in their programming and staffing, has announced an expansion of the movement in Ireland, and a panel event taking place this week.
James Foley, Lead, Editorial at Spotify UK and Ireland has been announced as a Keychange Ambassador, while a total of seven Irish organisations have now signed the Keychange gender pledge – including Choice Music Prize, Foggy Notions, The Folly @ Cullohill, Ireland Music Week, HearOne Music, Minding Creative Minds and Róisín Dubh.
