Melinda Schneider is at Cabra-Vale Diggers on March 31 for her Great Women of Country show. She's a great woman of country herself, having won six Golden Guitar awards at Tamworth, at last count. Performing and showbusiness has always been part of her life -- her mother is yodelling star Mary Schneider. Though men dominate just about every other industry, women have traditionally come to the fore in country music. Yet for all that, it can still take every ounce of strength for a female singer to stand her ground. Melinda learnt the hard way.
