All about Polly and Steve...'Polly is more than your avarage singer-songwriter. And Steve is certainly more than your average guitarist. They first 'became friends' on MySpace in November 2007 and within a month were supporting some top local bands. Since Spring 2008 the two have been working solidly on building up a repetoire of Polly's original songs which Steve lends his truly phenomenal fingerstyle guitar skills to. Now approaching their first year together, things just keep getting better. Their EP, recorded in the summer, caused much excitement among well-respected muso bods in the industry and is certainly taking them where they want to be going - the Top, Baby! Together, they have wowed audiences at many of the South's top music venues, including The Brook, The Wedgewood Rooms and The Cellars at Eastney and are quickly building up a local fan base. They are always extremely well received and its really only a matter of time for these two. World domination is imminent...'
'In addition to this, Polly has collaborated with other musicians where she has performed her original material in venues such as The Jazz Cafe in Camden and The Big Chill House in Kings Cross'
