One of the fundamental aims of setting up the Ova Music Studio was to train women and girls in sound technology and engineering. The workshops were run by Livvy Elliot.

We passionately believed in empowering and enabling girls and women to develop their creative potential.

Flier for our first album Ova

Publicity flier for ‘Out of Bounds’. It was our first vinyl album, also on cassette. Our very first studio album was ‘Ova’ on cassette only.

We played at the Michigan Womyn’s Festival twice. This was our first appearance, and we went down a storm.

We printed songbooks, which were available at gigs.
