Daragh Dukes and his friends in the Dublin band Headgear have written a lovely, gentle song called "Icarus Girl" inspired by Lady Mary and her life. Hear it at:

Indeed, Daragh has written an entire album of songs based on his fascination with flight. Worth a listen.

Now for 'Lady Icarus - the Movie", which will tell the story of Irish aviator Lady Mary Heath, who flew from Cape Town to London solo in 1928. To get backing at the
Sheffield Documentary Festival it needs LOTS of hits, so pass on the word (please!) and add your comments. We really need to get this film made soon, since the number of people of her generation who still remember Lady Mary is getting fewer by the minute.
