In this weeks podcast we interview the wonderful Polly Paulusma. She was a delight to chat too. We talk about her career in music and how she has coped in lock down. She talks about her Patreon page and how it has really worked well for her. We reveal our own plans for a Ward and Parker Fan Club!! Yes you'll hear all about it, what we've got in mind for 2021 but we want to know what you guys think! Get in touch and give us your thoughts :) Would you like to join the fan club for exclusive content? We are planning on going all in and pretty much ditching the main stream social media sites in favour of our very own forums. Here is a bit more about Polly..... In 2003, tucked away in her garden shed, 28-year-old Polly Paulusma recorded her debut album ‘Scissors In My Pocket’. Record label One Little Indian signed her up and ‘Scissors…’ received immediate and widespread critical acclaim upon its international release in 2004. Paulusma was catapulted round the world, supporting Bob Dylan, Jamie Cullum, Coldplay, The Divine Comedy, Marianne Faithfull, and played Glastonbury, T in the Park and Cambridge Folk Festival. Since then she has released two studio albums and is slated to release two more (an album of traditional folk song, ‘Invisible Music’, and a 24-track double album ‘Pivot’ which is currently being released serially) in 2020 and 2021. She founded label Wild Sound in 2012, now a folk imprint at One Little Indian. She teaches English/Song to Cambridge English undergraduates and is writing her PhD on Angela Carter’s folk singing.
