Click here to listen to the nine-minute musical Jenni Pinnock and I wrote about motoring pioneer (and joyrider) the somewhat complicated and conflicted character of Bertha Benz.
It took us most of a year to write, in bits and pieces, and it was first performed at the Royal Institution in October 2023 at An Evening Of Unnecessary Detail. We’re still not quite sure what it’s for or what to do with it, but Helena Raeburn sang it so fabulously in the studio that we’ve put it online for everyone to enjoy this mini-musical full of motoring drama and authentic German swearwords…
