If you love LOUD WOMEN, here’s one very practical way to help us keep this ship afloat: join the LOUD WOMEN Patreon. Join the LOUD WOMEN Patreon
LOUD WOMEN has always been a community effort. Bands, audiences, writers, photographers, radio hosts, volunteers, promoters and all the brilliant people who turn up, share our stuff, tell their mates and help us make more space for women, non-binary and queer artists.
Patreon is another way to be part of that gang.
You can join for free if you simply want to show your support and solidarity. But if you can afford to chuck us a fiver a month, it genuinely makes a difference – and we make sure there are plenty of nice things coming back your way too.
Do you like gigs? Records? Merch? Gossip?
Good. You’ll fit right in.
Patreon rewards regularly include:
- free guest list places and discounted tickets for LOUD WOMEN gigs
- vinyl, records and CDs in our giveaways
- merch and other prizes
- exclusive playlists
- Zooms and other special access to artists
- early announcements and first dibs on news
- Patreon-only gossip and behind-the-scenes bits
- chances to get involved with things like questions for our radio guests
If you come to LOUD WOMEN gigs, the £5 tier can pay for itself pretty quickly: guest list places are one of the rewards we give out most often.
This month, for example, paid supporters are getting free tickets to the LOUD WOMEN 11th birthday party, while our highest-tier supporters are going into a draw to win a copy of the LOUD WOMEN 10th anniversary vinyl.
But the main reason to join is much bigger than getting free stuff.
Help us keep doing the work
Your Patreon money helps pay the deeply unglamorous things that make all the exciting stuff possible: website and IT costs, admin, promotion and the endless machinery involved in running LOUD WOMEN.
It helps us put on gigs, champion new artists, create opportunities and keep pushing women, non-binary and queer musicians further up the grassroots music scene.
And yes, a particular shout-out to our male allies here.
If you want to see a fairer music industry, supporting the people actually building that alternative is a very practical form of allyship. Put some money into the grassroots. Help us create stages, coverage and opportunities for artists who still don’t get their fair share of them.
A fiver a month might not feel enormous on its own. Put enough of us together, though, and suddenly we can do a lot.
That’s how LOUD WOMEN has always worked.
Join the gang, get some lovely rewards, help us pay the IT bill and enjoy the warm glow of knowing you’re giving something back to the scene. Join LOUD WOMEN on Patreon
