Faith discussed lack of female acts on festival line-ups at Brit Awards last night
Paloma Faith has spoken about the lack of female acts on festival line-ups, stating that the people in power within the music industry have a "responsibility to show diversity". The singer was asked what she thought about the low number of women on this year's Reading and Leeds Festival bill during an appearance on the Brit Awards red carpet last night (February 25).
"I think when you have the power to book things like that and to broadcast and things like that, it's your responsibility to show diversity," she said. "I know on my small scale of world that I am the boss of, I make sure that everything is represented: race, class, colour, gender, the lot, so I think that anybody in a high-powered position needs to be doing that. In any job."
