"I do often feel that I am judged by different criteria than male musicians"

I apologise if you thought this was directed at you, at all, Villan. It was not, at all.It was meant as a comment on the music business, as a whole. I am also, not blaming, men as I think it is "not necessarily the fault of just some men as many women apply the same double standards re women performers."
We had a brilliant time performing at MRFC last night and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Loved hearing Edwina and having a chat at the end. I always wish there was more time to chat to people as it is a nice part of the evening as well as hearing the performers. We were setting gear up in the break so missed chance to chat to people, last night.
