there's an old guy who does a similar thing near me
Endlessly touring round the neighbourhood with a ghetto blaster strapped to his bike blaring out highway to hell or some such. Everyone thinks he's a twat.

closest we get in my bit of bristol is an old bloke on a motorbike who plays classic rock loudly
and a man in a car with speakers on his roof who drives around once a week shouting something entirely incomprehensible.*
Both of them trigger all the dogs in the road, including next doors Alsatian who once started will bark and howl continuously for an hour straight. It usually shuts up just in time to be set off again by the icecream van.
This is all lovely when I'm working from home and on a call with customers.

Men and Women
subtly trend towards liking different things. Even a small difference in preferences or skill can make a huge difference once you are selecting for the top 1-2%, essentially eliminating one group or the other.
Assuming a standard bell curve, even a difference of just 1-2% in ability (or people with the greatest ability choosing a different career) means that at the top 1% there can be a 100-1 difference or more in the numbers of each group.
In combination with The Norwegian Paradox, this explains the massive difference in the numbers of men and women getting to the top of fields such as this, without it being the fault of 'The Patriarchy'.
Women, for example, are more likely than men to choose public sector careers. This contributes to the pay gap (public sector jobs tend to pay less) and limits the pool of female talent available for top private sector roles.
Last year, researchers in the US and UK found that countries with an existing culture of gender equality have a smaller proportion of women taking degrees in science, technology and mathematics (STEM).
When given the total freedom to choose the career they prefer, women trend away from technical careers.
How to have equality then? Do you allow people to choose the career they prefer, or do you force them into one they do not want to do to enforce gender equality across all jobs?
There will be a lot of unhappy Binwomen if you do...

I don't.
I fully admit I am being prejudiced by assuming that music colleges are attended chiefly by the well to do classes. However I've seen more than my fair share of colleges of music (Leeds Uni, RCM in London, Brum Conservatoire). I didn't notice a lot of regional accents at such places. People used a lot of consonants when they laughed. Copies of Wodehouse being passed around. I am not exaggerating.
I am certain that there are even fewer working class people represented at such places now (based on the falling numbers of WC/'LPN' university admissions).
Not sure what your link is supposed to illustrate. Are we guessing class based on surnames? If so, there are not many Smiths, Joneses, Owenses, etc, compared to the Stockhausens, de Waals, Barbers, Thorntons, Websters, and so on.
