Nana Punk

Nana Punk is the brainchild of Jude Price (Cult of Doris) who wanted to develop a group for women who are over 50 to come together, to learn to play instruments, write lyrics and perform together.

Overwhelmed by the amount of opportunities for young people and those under 25 she decided it was time to take a stand and form a group for people who didn’t usually have these opportunities in the hope of building a group that could perform as a collective.

After suffering a stroke the project took a new meaning as Jude was able to use the project to help re-develop her music skills, re-learning bass as well as supporting her language skills. She has also given herself the challenge of learning to play drums as the group needed someone to play at the London gig they had been booked for.   What she has found is a fantastic network of women who have all become friends, formed this group and after playing at Llais they were booked for the Loud Women Christmas Party at the Hope and Anchor in Islington.

They look forward to supporting Lleswyl and are excited to see what new adventures will come in 2025.

Nana Punk is a collaboration supported by Wales Millennium Centre, Efa Supertramp and The Cab in Newport.
