Just 4 You (Track - Don't know why)
This was a brief but enjoyable project in which four close musician friends explored the slightly scary world of being a wedding and corporate events band.
The Stamp Collective
"Absurdly energetic folk music" and this is no lie! Based at Guildhall School of Music & Drama, The Stamp Collective was made up of past and present pupils from the plethora of courses offered at the school. Led by Joe Broughton and Paloma Trigas, two members of The Urban Folk Quartet and extraordinarily talented musicians, The Stamp Collective was an incredible project to be a part of.
Crossfader
Crossfader was a band with 6 multi-talented and seriously skilled musicians. The result of this collection of musical minds was eclectic and before it's time.
Free downloads of the 9 tracks we had recorded can be found here http://soundcloud.com/crossfadertheband
London Breakbeat Orchestra
The LBO was the brainchild of Cimeon Ellerton. His vision was to bring clubbing music to the orchestra format and to in turn, bring the orchestra to clubs!
Polly was one of the original members of the orchestra and in her time with them played both 'cello and baritone saxophone.
Docklands Sinfonia
Docklands Sinfonia is an exciting new symphony orchestra which aims to be a major cultural force in London’s dynamic Docklands. Polly was one of the original members of this orchestra and went on to lead the cello section.
National ISIS Strings Academy
The National ISIS Strings Academy, founded in 1995, is a specialist string chamber orchestra. It is a charitable trust. Its aims are to provide specialist, quality training for talented, young string players between the ages of 11 and 21, and to give them regular experience in the art of public performance. The most outstanding aspect of the NISA experience is in the standard of coaching available to these young people - from a dedicated team of professional musicians with a lifetime's experience of chamber orchestra playing, three of whom are past principals of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. Sir Neville Marriner is NISA's principal patron. In her time with them, Polly travelled to Washington and performed at the Kenedy Centre.
National Youth Music Theatre
Polly spent three years involved in the NYMT, from 1996 to 1998. This experience opened her eyes to a world outside of just classical music. She was in the bands of the renowned 1996 Edinburgh Fringe Festival run of Bugsy Malone in the George Square Theatre (which went on to have a west end run in The Queen's Theatre, Shaftsbury Avenue), the stunning production of Warchild, a work for orchestra, choir and cast hosted in some of the region's most beautiful cathedrals. and the run of Wizard of Oz in Theatre Royal, Bath.
