Singing about sex, love, personal flaws, pleasure and everything life throws at us, Self Esteem toured the UK festival scene in 2019, playing Glastonbury, British Summer Time and Latitude. Her five star album Prioritise Pleasure was The Guardian’s album of the year 2021, described as ‘Britain’s funniest, frankest pop star drums out her demons.’
Power of Women Festival 2022 has the theme of Reclaim and Reconnect. For Self Esteem's headlining concert, we invite you to join us in a costume theme of Reclaim and Reconnect. We'd love to see homemade, reclaimed or reworked looks. Gather your people and let's dance!
Supporting Self Esteem on Sunday 6th March are the Cocoa Butter Club and Margate’s Social Singing Choir.
Led by Sadie Sinner, the Cocoa Butter Club celebrates performers of colour, many of whom are queer, from all walks (and struts and sashays) of life. Combining spoken word and drag, its showcases serve as one big fabulous reminder that QTIBPOC (Queer Trans Intersex Black People Of Colour) not only exist but are here to stay – with flair.
Margate’s Social Singing Choir formed in 2018 led by Hughie Gavin who says “The aim is simple, to sing some awesome songs together and have a good time. Each term of the Social Singing Choir builds towards a concert in aid of a local charity.” The first single featuring The Social Singing Choir ‘To Feel Good’ was Annie Mac’s Hottest Record In The World’.
Power of Women Festival’s theme for 2022 is Reclaim and Reconnect. March 2022 sees the two year anniversary of the first UK Covid lockdown. The whole world has experienced struggle and suffering, and it’s time to Reclaim our joy and inspiration, and Reconnect with other people and ourselves. Power of Women Festival 2022 celebrates the power of the arts and community through five days of inclusive events in-person and online for all genders, all ages, and all the family.
We are so thrilled to be back in person with you this year after having to take the festival online last year. If you have any Covid concerns, please check out our Covid safety guidance here.
The full line up for Power of Women Festival 2022 will be announced soon.
We cannot wait to see you in person and online from Friday 4th - Tuesday 8th March 2022 for Power of Women Festival 2022: Reclaim and Reconnect!
With love from,
The POW! Team
