Saturday 4th October: Merge Festival (CANCELLED!)

(Stop press - very sadly, the organisers have had to cancel this event because such heavy rain is forecast that the outdoor Riverside Stage just wouldn't be able to cope.)
We'll be playing at 3pm on the Riverside Stage - a converted 1950s airstream trailer which will be parked outside Tate Modern, by the Millennium Bridge. Our 40-minute set is part of a folk-flavoured afternoon inspired by the forthcoming film The Ballad of Shirley Collins. Free music by the river on a Saturday afternoon...how can you resist?

Polly is heading up to the city of her birth to play a couple of short sets without the rest of the band, as part of the delightful Stand-Up Tragedy series running throughout August on the PBH Free Fringe. These excellent variety shows feature storytellers, poets, comedians, musicians and others all performing work based - however loosely - on the theme of 'tragedy'. On Wednesday 20th August, Polly will have a ten-minute solo slot; on Thursday 21st August, she'll be sharing a ten-minute set of duets with Joe Murphy of Sergeant Buzfuz. The shows are an hour long and run from 7.30-8.30pm each night. Entry is free. Stand-Up Tragedy @ The Banshee Labyrinth (ballroom), 29-35 Niddry Street, Edinburgh EH1 1LG
