GIRLBAND! are a new alternative three-piece from Nottingham. Georgie, Kay and Jada are a formidable trio, and after making music individually and with other groups locally they came together and GIRLBAND! was born.
Jason Kwan is a powerful voice in the LGBTQ+ and Asian communities. Originally from Hong Kong, Jason moved to the UK at the age of 14 by himself on a music scholarship. His music champions queer Asian experiences, placing underrepresented narratives at the forefront of his work. Iris Gig 2024
Francis Brown, Volunteer and Music Co-ordinator for the Iris Prize Film Festival said: “After last year's show stopping performance by VOYA I thought it was always going to be hard to follow that. However, when I saw Girlband!live on stage earlier this year I thought their high-octane performance, raw energy and anthemic songs would be perfect for Iris! Their special guest Jason Kwan is a rising star who has an abundance of charisma, star quality and no shortage of good tunes!”

Berwyn Rowlands, Iris Prize Film Festival Director added: “We are always excited to share new music with our film audiences.  This year’s gig night has been moved to Friday night and we are starting later than usual to give the show a real night out feel.  We have always championed artists from the LGBTQ+ community and we are very excited to be presenting you with GIRLBAND! and Jason Kwan for this year’s Iris Gig.”

Mae GIRLBAND! yn grŵp amgen newydd o Nottingham. Mae Georgie, Kay a Jada yn driawd aruthrol, ac ar ôl gwneud cerddoriaeth yn unigol a chyda grwpiau eraill yn lleol, fe ddaethon nhw at ei gilydd a chreu GIRLBAND!
Mae Jason Kwan yn llais pwerus yn y cymunedau LHDTQ+ ac Asiaidd. Yn wreiddiol o Hong Kong, symudodd Jason i'r DU yn 14 oed ar ei ben ei hun ar ysgoloriaeth gerddorol. Mae ei gerddoriaeth yn hyrwyddo profiadau Asiaidd queer, gan osod naratifau heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol ar flaen ei waith. Gig info_Cym
Meddai Francis Brown, Cydlynydd Gwirfoddoli a Cherddoriaeth Gŵyl Ffilm Gwobr Iris: “Ar ôl perfformiad bythgofiadwy y llynedd gan VOYA, roeddwn i'n meddwl y byddai'n anodd dilyn hynny. Pan welais i Girlband! yn fyw ar lwyfan yn gynharach eleni roeddwn i'n meddwl y byddai eu perfformiad egnïol, amrwd a’u caneuon anthemig yn berffaith i Iris! Mae eu gwestai arbennig Jason Kwan yn seren gynyddol sydd â digonedd o garisma, rhagoriaeth, a dim prinder o ganeuon da!”

Ychwanegodd Berwyn Rowlands, Cyfarwyddwr Gŵyl Ffilm Gwobr Iris: “Rydym bob amser yn gyffrous i rannu cerddoriaeth newydd gyda'n cynulleidfaoedd ffilm.  Mae'r noson gig eleni wedi'i symud i nos Wener ac rydym yn dechrau'n hwyrach na'r arfer i roi naws noson allan go iawn i'r sioe.  Rydym bob amser wedi hyrwyddo artistiaid o'r gymuned LHDTQ+ ac rydym yn gyffrous iawn i fod yn cyflwyno GIRLBAND! a Jason Kwan i chi ar gyfer Gig Iris eleni.”
