That was a song called Broadside, which I wrote in collaboration with John Smith [G] and Martin Simpson
as part of [G#] a great project that I loved being part of.
The Elizabethan session was a week long or a little bit longer
in a beautiful house, writing songs about the [Em] Elizabethan, the period of [A] Elizabeth I's [G] reign,
writing songs and tunes [E] inspired not just by her life but by the lives of ordinary people [A] in Elizabethan times.
Then we recorded and performed the music at Hatfield House.
[E] We were looking into that time,
we were looking for female heroes.
We had Elizabeth I but we also had [G] Grace O'Malley, the Irish pirate queen,
who met with Elizabeth on at least one occasion.
That was a song imagining them meeting, these two female warriors. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
