About Me

POLLY PERKINS
Singer, actress, author, 60's 'IT" Girl and pioneer of gay rights.
Hailed as a diva on the British cabaret scene, from glam rock, jazz, blues and torch songs to self penned vignettes - rich in the social commentary of swinging 6o's London where she first made her mark.
Polly recorded a number of notable singles between 1963 1973. In 1969 her first album POP-LORE ACCORDING TO THE ACADEMY was released by MORGAN BLUE TOWN.
Pollys album LIBERATED WOMAN was released by Decca in 1973 in conjunction with her book of the same name. The opening track, COOCHIE COO (also released as a single), was abruptly banned by BBC radio due to the content of the lyrics.
Polly has been openly gay since the early 60s.
In the 21st Century, Polly's music is being discovered by a whole new generation thanks to iTunes re-releasing her music.Both her children carry on the family tradition in arts and entertainment. Eldest son Toby Tobias , a successful film maker, and youngest son, Tim Arnold , recording artist and singer song writer.
Polly lives in Spain and continues to perform regularly. As any who have witnessed her recent shows, she is only going from strength to strength.
Polly's classic 70's album 'Liberated Woman' available now from Chapter One Records or Download from iTunes
