Dublin group Girl Band have changed their name to Gilla Band, and have apologized for "choosing a misgendered name in the first place and to anyone who has been hurt or affected by it."
They continue: "When we were starting off it was chosen without much thought, from a place of naivety and ignorance. We had no grasp of the weight of it at the time and in the past few years have found it impossible to justify or explain this choice."
