Debbie Harwood & Peaches "So this is Love" 1997

AS THE RECEPTIONIST AT HARLEQUIN STUDIOS, HARWOOD “WAS IN HEAVEN.”
In the early 80s music scene, sexism was rife.
When the women who became the Cats met, “The sparks flew – it was chaos, but in a really good way.”
Harwood, Crummer, Urlich, Swann and Willoughby were at the peak of their energies.
On the 1988-89 tour, the Cats played to over 100,000 people – but Harwood was suffering.
In the mid-1990s Harwood produced an album of her favourite love songs.
Harwood describes herself as a natural introvert (“believe it or not”).

Debbie Harwood is a Renaissance woman of the New Zealand music industry. She shot into national consciousness with late-1980s supergroup When The Cat’s Away, but she started her career away from the microphone in a wide variety of senior management and production roles. She has been a radio host, a publicist and a music mentor and has always championed the work of female singer/songwriters.
Although many people discouraged a career in music, she says, “It was the only thing that brought me glistening joy so that’s what I focused on. The pull to music was always the strongest urge my whole life and still is.” - audioculture - Gabe McDonnel
