BBC Scotland - Hidden Lives, Series 1, Riot Girl Rock

Vonny LeClerc explores the burgeoning feminist rock music scene.

Guitarist Vonny LeClerc visits the Girls Rock School in Edinburgh, which inspires and trains hundreds of budding female musicians, and explores the current music scene.

Guitarist and ex-band member Vonny LeClerc explores a burgeoning underground music scene - feminist rock music. All-women bands are on the rise across the country, particularly in Edinburgh, where a Girls Rock School has trained and inspired hundreds of budding musicians over the past five years.

Vonny visits the school, meets some attendees and chats to the school's founders, finding out their reasons for wanting to encourage more women into rock music. These feisty women are responding to the world around them with loud guitars and punchy lyrics which often have strong political messages.

Vonny follows an all-female band play live for the first time at a riotous Girls Rock School showcase gig in Edinburgh. Atmosphere-wise, it's one of the best Vonny has ever attended in two decades of gig-going, proving to her that feminism is not just alive and well in Scotland, it has its own unique soundtrack.
