Not at all.

No - not that either.

The first top band I joined did not have women in it. When the vote was taken
about letting women in, some players said they would leave. I did not vote
(although I would have said I was leaving) as I was actually going to leave
anyway.

However, due to a number of reasons, I ended up staying in the band. Twelve
months down the line I had experienced the 'women in bands' thing and decided I
didn't like it. There are many reasons but I wdo not want to discuss them on the
list and it could provoke all kinds of fall outs!!!
