What don't women talk about? Groundbreaking new album and live experience about women's unspoken silences
'Mad trad' singer Joanie Bones launches her groundbreaking project THE ELEPHANT IN THE WOMB, a musical journey into women’s tender silences, with the release of new single BODY BRAVE. The single features soaring vocals, empowering lyrics and punchy beats to make a powerful anthem of female strength and courage.
Inspired by realising how many of her female friends were struggling with the same issues without ever speaking about them, THE ELEPHANT IN THE WOMB is a collection of songs and a unique ‘live gig experience’, transforming separation and silence into unity and song.
The video for BODY BRAVE features statements made by women in answer to Joanie’s question ‘what do you not talk about?’, written on bunting made from Joanie’s childhood bedsheets. The bunting is a central part of the ‘live experience’, draping around the audience as they sing, cry and laugh together.
SINGLE OUT FEB 21st, ALBUM OUT MARCH 7th, TOURING FROM MARCH 15th

You need to take this show far and wide. Bring it to women anywhere!
More women need to experience is, thank you!
