IWD 2021: POW! Power of Women

POW! Power of Women festival takes place on the ancient isle of Thanet which comprises Margate, Ramsgate Broadstairs & Birchington. 'Composers on Film' host Gemma Dempsey, herself a Ramsgatian, asked a number of the amazing women taking part to send her a voice memo introducing themselves, how they were involved in POW! and to nominate a track by their favourite female artist. Participants include writers, performers, a death doula, the creator of a crochet installation inspired by local 'mermads', a descendent of a suffragette and an archivist of Greenham Common, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year and begins with Amy Redmond, POW!
