Vic Meets: In-conversation with Ruby Wood
- When
- Thursday 17 April, 6-8.30pm
- Where
- Low Four Studio, Manchester
- Part of the Initiative
- All Things Equal
Vocalist and songwriter Ruby Wood reflects on her music career so far, in-conversation with R&B singer and broadcaster Victoria Jane. Followed by an open jam session.
Hailing from Huddersfield, Ruby Wood’s soulful yet distinctive voice has enabled her to front numerous projects; but she is perhaps best known as lead vocalist of the critically acclaimed Submotion Orchestra. In the past she’s toured with Bonobo’s live band and Nubiyan Twist, and collaborated with the likes of Krept & Konan, Franky Wah, Alfa Mist, GLXY and Roska.
During this event, Ruby will share how she's dealt with challenges along the way, and been able to carve out a lasting career as a musician. There’ll be plenty of chances to ask questions throughout.
To end the session two Vic Meets participants will host a dedicated space to chat, jam or freestyle.
A collaboration with Vic Meets, this workshop is for you if you’re:
- In the early stages of your journey into music and are looking for support and guidance
- Want to develop your skills and confidence, and try something new
- Keen to meet new people and make connections in the Manchester music scene
Can I come?
This event is an intentional space for women and people of marginalised genders as part of our All Things Equal initiative. This includes:
- Women, including Trans Women
- Non-Binary / Agender people
- Gender Fluid / Genderqueer people
- Trans Men / Trans Masculine people
- Intersex people
We know that more needs to be done to address intersectional barriers in the music industry, so we’re particularly keen to support additional marginalised communities. This includes Black, South Asian and ethnically diverse people, and people with lived experience of disability.
There are limited places on this workshop, so please consider whether this is right for you before signing up.
