Heads South’s debut album Record Flight affirms their arrival as a Band with a valuable and exciting musical contribution to make. The album features a choice set of tracks from the Band’s expansive repertoire of original compositions and arrangements of classic tunes. The hallmarks of the music are emphatic Cuban and Latin rhythms and tuneful melody lines.

Most of the originals on Record Flight are penned by the Band’s pianist John Harriman, ranging from the happily imperious El Cardenal and Iberian flavoured Petalos de la Tierra to the sonorous Sweet Swan and pretty ballad Juntito. Nowhere To Go is the main theme from Steve Waterman’s Concerto for Congas. The album kicks off with the lively Youmans classic Carioca and includes a salsa version of the equally classic Mack the Knife and Pissaro’s beautiful slow tango Milonga del Angel. Record Flight is released on October 1 2010. It was recorded at Red Gables Studios in London and mixed at Clowns Pocket Studios by Derek Nash.
