This International Women’s Day celebration suffered an unfortunate schoolboy error
It’s International Women’s Day on Friday and people everywhere will be marking it by doing all sorts of interesting things.
Like Morley College in London, for instance, which will be hosting a piano recital of works by women composers. Sounds great!
Obviously they’ve got a woman pianist to play them, it being International Women’s Day, right?
Ah.

It prompted no shortage of responses, as you would imagine, of which these are our favourites.
@morleycollege you had one job.

Wow. WOW. I mean… it’s not like our tiny little lady hands can play compositions like this. I know as a lady who’s been playing piano daily for 24years, it is rather fatiguing. So glad there’s help at hand…

Who better to celebrate women than a man 🙄

Well, it could have been worse.
The only good thing about that is he is not playing all male composers in HONOUR of women. 😒🙄🙄🙄😒

Who knew there were no female pianist…..
