- As I couldn't be there to pay my respects on the 4th January 2021, I decided to mark the anniversary of Donald Campbell's last fateful record attempt with an acoustic version of my song 'Bluebird'.

Music and lyrics by Sophia Dady:
There she rises through the water
As she lifts herself up high
No one knows the strength inside
Or the tears in his eyes
Forced to drive on with his passion
And with the Bluebird on his mind
They lower the boat into the water
He turns and waves his goodbyes
This is for his country
His green and pleasant land
To preserve the World Speed Record
On Water and Land
He is such a man of courage
In his heart he always knew
If he ever felt discouraged
He would just smile and see it through
There is so much speculation
The press are always wanting more
Always seems their biggest question
'What on earth you're doing it for'
This is for my country
This green and pleasant land
To preserve the World Speed Records
On water and land
Then Bluebird sparks into this life
There's no stopping her now
She cuts the water like a knife
Oh can't you feel her go!
This was for his country
His green and pleasant land
To preserve the World Speed Records
On water and land
(C) Sophia Dady 2019 - St. Alban Rae Records.
Sophia was born and raised in Buckinghamshire by her much loved and respected parents, William St. A. R. Dady (artist and sculptor b.1938 - d.1989) and Elizabeth Dady (accomplished musician and teacher b.1944 - d.2005). Sophia inherited both of these creative skills and drawing on her own life experiences, enriches a powerful story both musically and visually.
Sophia Dady is a UK singer/songwriter/musician with a diversity of influences which derive from trad jazz, pop, folk, and strong ties with Tori Amos and Kate Bush. Her music has a unique combination of styles which intertwine between 70’s funkadelica, 80’s pop, and contemporary folk, but also feels like something completely fresh and new.
