Ahead of the Sally Wainwright TV show Riot Women, we speak to some of Yorkshire's female punk stars.
From Kate Rusby to Kiki Dee, Self Esteem and Corinne Bailey Rae, Yorkshire has produced hundreds of musicians.
She says she's really looking forward to seeing how Wainwright has written about the Yorkshire punk music scene."I'm looking at the cast list, which looks amazing, but also they seem like a similar age to me, so I'm curious to see how that plays out.Ms Griffiths has been in bands since she was 14 but says she's had more success in her 40s and 50s.
Erin Hyde, 38, plays bass, drums and sings in Leeds punk band Nervous Twitch. She has played with the band for 10 years and they have just recorded a new album."I never thought I had it in me, so when I got asked to join on the drums I was thinking I would probably just do it for like a week or so.Ms Hyde moved to Leeds in 2007 to study art at university. She met her partner and decided to stay in the city.
Both women have played in bands throughout their lives, starting as teenagers, taking a break in their early 30s and now coming back to music in their early 40s.Kath says: "I definitely missed doing something creative and I think you miss the camaraderie of being in a band and around other musicians.
"Being able to go and stand in rehearsal room, make loads of noise or stand on a stage and be somebody playing a really loud guitar, for me that is amazing. It gives me part of my identity that I might have lost otherwise." "I don't know what that phenomenon is. Maybe you call it a midlife crisis. Maybe it's just realising what matters to them.
