The Queen’s Hotel
This belter of a protest song was written during a Distant Voices song-writing session in the women’s wing of HMYOI Polmont in November 2018. The song was a joy to co-write with Emma and Ashleigh who wanted to write a song that would communicate their critiques of the system but also get the whole prison dancing! Louis based the melody on the chords from ‘Stand By Me’ as this was a song that Emma could already play on guitar.
This is a project demo, recorded onsite as part of the workshop.
Written by Ashleigh Duncan and Emma with Louis Abbott and Phil Thomas.
Recorded and mixed by Louis Abbott.
Mastered by Jamie Savage.
