Polly Mackey

My name is Polly and, although I don’t like the stereotype, I’m a singer/songwriter. I’ve been writing songs for a year or two and started gigging in the summer of 2007.
I was really lucky in getting some early radio play from Adam Walton on Radio 1 Wales “At just 16 years of age, I think you’ll agree that this song is showing a lot of promise for the future”… which helped me secure some early gigs. They seemed to go down really well and since then the challenge has been to satisfy the demand for gigs without compromising my AS Level studies.
I can play solo acoustically but am lucky to be able to have the support of a full-band when the need arises… such as my gig supporting The Teenagers in early April.
I’ve done some live acoustic sessions for local radio and was recently featured on Radio 1’s Bethan Elfyn’s show as “one to watch” from the North Wales music scene.
I’m now getting requests for gigs from around the UK and will be doing my first gigs in London in April.
My ambition for 2008 is to get to work in the studio with an engineer/arranger/ producer who can help me to take my songs to the next level, and away from the acoustic genre
I hope you like my stuff.
