Polly and the Billets Doux

About Me

"They take their influences from Jazz greats like Billie Holiday and add a quintessentially english Twist, with divine harmonised vocals."describe as a sumptuous blend of Jazz, Blues, Country, Folk and Gospel", and with the "sexiest voice in the South"."To a raptuous reception, Polly and the Billets Doux arrived and you'd have thought they'd just finished their encore let alone not started. The whole band knows how to please deftly working with effortless skill, bringing in each instrument and element, layering and lifting it into dreamy blues tinged delights.

I never cease to be amazed by this band, their live performances are astounding!" (alfieonline)
