Exactly! Seriously,so many things happen on IWD itself, that this concert is timed so it doesn't clash and enables people to go to more than one thing. Events usually spill out over the week, so I hope I can be forgiven.

It should be a great concert and a good night. Incidentally, whilst all the performers are women, everyone is welcome to join the audience.
