As a visual artist Lucy Woollett has chosen ‘Lady Lucy’ as an alter ego to work under. In urban music circles this use of the word ‘Lady’ as a prefix to a name is a re-occurring theme and Ladies, All The Ladies is the result of Lady Lucy’s self-imposed search to meet other ‘Ladies’.

Lady Lucy’s film is an inspiring portrait of women MCs, DJs, producers and performers involved in Urban music; Hip Hop, Drum and Bass, Garage, Reggae, Dance Hall, R and B, House and Grime from Bristol, UK and internationally, all of whom use the prefix ‘Lady’.
