Laila Mckenzie, Co-Author of Lady of The House, said: “It was a natural progression to launch the UK club tour as there’s so many amazingly talented women pushing boundaries and playing and producing great music across the electronic dance music genres.

"Also we wanted to start introducing the new school of talents, women emerging as leading lights in their field, and also bring Lady Of The House to towns, festivals and events across the UK. With the book still selling well, and the Cultural Festival launching in Bristol, the focus on women in music has never been stronger."
