Donna (she/her) is currently a singer in a band called The Lost Girls.
In this episode, Donna shares a story about a time she visited Daylesford in 1981 to perform with a feminist band called Nice Girls Don't Spit. She shares about a negative experience she had then after a show and also reflects on a more recent tour to Daylesford and how far it has come to now be a very accepting rainbow community. This episode was recorded at the Victoria's Pride Street Party, so you may hear some of the festivities of the day in the background.
