My next gig in Birmingham is on the 15th of November at Ort.
I'm thrilled to announce that I will be supporting the superb Polly Paulusma.
Here's the press release;
POLLY PAULUSMA
From humble musical beginnings in a garden shed, Polly Paulusma was signed to Bjork’s label One Little Indian in 2003 and in 2004 released her self-produced, home-shed-recorded debut album Scissors In My Pocket to international critical acclaim.
Uncut Magazine gave Scissors In My Pocket **** calling her “the finest young female British singer-songwriter to emerge over the last 12 months” (in a year that saw Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone step into the limelight). The Independent heralded her “the most literate songwriter of her generation”. Scissors… was playlisted on BBC Radio 2 and championed by Michael Parkinson and Terry Wogan, to name but a few.
Paulusma toured the UK, the US and Europe continuously through 2004-5 supporting Bob Dylan, Coldplay, Jamie Cullum, Marianne Faithfull, The Divine Comedy and Joseph Arthur, playing Glastonbury, Glasgow’s T in the Park and the Cambridge Folk Festival, amongst many others.
“They say music is supposed to be a reflection of life, to be something that gets inside of our souls, forget our circumstances. This does just that and more. It breathes, it is in my inspiration. You made a wonderful connection with me.” Howard Mandshein
