   About Polly Paulusma
Polly Paulusma started playing her guitar- and piano-based songs on London's acoustic circuit in 2001 and never looked back. She was half-way through making her first album at home when One Little Indian signed her in 2003. The resulting debut, Scissors In My Pocket, came out in the UK in April 2004 to critical acclaim.

Polly's new single Back to the Start will be released on 4th June followed by her new stunning new album Fingers & Thumbs on 11th June. Polly will shortly be announcing full UK band and acoustic tours so keep checking back for info, and dont forget Polly's weekly Podcasts you can find by subscribing on itunes.

As well, you can sign up to Polly's MAILING LIST for updates!

You say it pauls-mer, by the way.

Uncut Magazine (UK): "the finest young British female singer-songwriter to emerge over the last 12 months" ****
Mojo Magazine (UK): "complete, pure and personal" ****
Daily Telegraph (UK): "oustanding...and passionate"
Rolling Stone Magazine (USA): "An enchanting debut of understated, intelligent folk pop"
Nic Harcourt, KCRW (USA): "My favourite album from the UK this year"

Leading up to the release of Finger & Thumbs Polly will be visiting various music shops and using the best guitar in the house to record a live acoustic version of each album track that we will putting on youtube. Make sure you subscribe to her channel. The first video, recorded in Milan last week can be seen below.
