Music industry sexism: will Matt Healy's Brits moment spark change?

When the 1975 won the best British group award at the Brits on Wednesday, singer Matty Healy used his acceptance speech to quote from an article by the Guardian’s Laura Snapes about misogyny in the music industry. The next day, the two of them sat down with Chris of Christine and the Queens on Matt Wilkinson’s Beats 1 radio show to talk about their personal experiences of sexism in the business, the need for male allies, where the industry should go from here and how soon we can expect its #MeToo movement.

Here is the transcript of that discussion:

Matt Wilkinson: For me, the biggest talking point of the Brits last night was when the 1975 won their first award, and, Matty, you got up, and your speech was a direct quote of an article that Laura wrote about misogyny in the music industry. I was sat at the tables, and I have to say the whole room went quiet. The tone totally changed in the auditorium during the ceremony. And Chris, you tweeted about it as well, saying this was the best moment of the night. Matty, when did you decide to do this?
