Thanks to Tom Chester of Blank Tape Studios for helping us produce this recording. It’s the song that won us the Edinburgh Songwriting competition last month.
Want a copy for your iPod? it’s here (it’ll cost you a quid which helps us with the recording costs)
And here is Harriet herself in her purple satin flying suit
Harriet Quimby 1875-1912
1 August 1911, First woman to receive a US pilot’s license
16 April 1912, First woman to fly the English Channel
1 July 1912, Thrown from her plane and died at an air show in Boston Massachusetts
Think of Harriet when you fasten your seatbelt
This song gets better every time I hear it – & I loved it the first time! Absolutely brilliant, Chris & a sumptuous arrangement. I wish I had an iPod
