Hammonds to enjoy High Life on British Airways flights

Hammonds Saltaire will be flying high thanks to a new collaboration with British Airways.

Just a Vibration
 

The high-profile success of the artistic collaboration between Hammonds Saltaire Band and Indian musician Shri Shriram, will reach new heights over the coming year — literally.

After 'Just a Vibration' was featured on several BBC radio shows, British Airways has snapped up the opportunity to feature the CD recording to be part of their in-flight entertainment on all their flights across the globe.

High Life

From the start of April the album will be available as part of the entertainment packages available to all their customers, as well as being featured in the BA magazine 'High Life', in an article by respected pop star and broadcaster Cerys Matthews.

Sit back and relax

Having showcased several of the tracks from the album on her BBC 6 Music show in December, Cerys wrote the feature for the magazine which will be released at the same time as the album becomes available.

So if you are flying with British Airways from April then sit back and enjoy the eclectic mix of brass band, bass and sitar.
