Stealing Sheep's Suffragette Tribute marches to the beat of its own drum at End of the Road
Stealing Sheep's Suffragette Tribute marches to success in the early afternoon of Saturday, mixing samba, synthery, and some seriously impressive moves.
Created by the experimental folk-pop crew as a reponse to the centenary of the Suffragette Movement, the tribute is inspired and influenced by female empowerment, equality, and women everywhere. Stealing Sheep concocted the tribute in partnership with Manchester-based music charity Brighter Sound and Edge Hill University, and melt cacophonous samba rhythms (there's a 15-strong, all-female percussion section) with fluid movements and strange and wiry threads of electronica. It's a rapturous and thought-provoking set from that collective that breaks the boundaries of a traditional festival performance.
