The Femme Fatales are an all female band inspired to play at the HONK! Oz festival in 2017. I (Mel Wishart) realised that there was a need to create a playful environment for women to learn- (or bring instruments out from under the beds where they have been for eternity!) - instruments by being supported with more professional players, and the HONK! festivals have inspired me to get more music happening at a community level with a message to deliver. Its been such a hit I have been inundated with women wanting to join. Young and old we are one.
