Soulful charismatic singing star Polly has been nominated twice as Best Jazz Vocalist by JAZZ FM and the BBC Jazz Awards. Fully embracing the expansiveness of American jazz, blues and R&B, she has an innate blues sensibility and a warm, rich vocal style.  She signed to acclaimed US label Resonance Records, with whom she’s recorded three albums in the US, though her latest release, last year’s As It Is was recorded in her home county of Suffolk.  

She has been compared to many jazz and soul greats, but her own narrative style, deep and direct emotional engagement with the music, together with her quirky humour make her a true original.  

She is joined for a special performance by the trio Jim Watson (organ), Al Cherry (guitar) and George Double (drums). 

“Polly Gibbons is unmistakably a class act, getting classier fast.” 
★★★★ The Guardian 

“Gibbons is a jazz talent whose voice is also steeped in vintage R&B with shades of Aretha Franklin.”  The Sunday Times 

The performance ends at approximately 9.45pm including an interval.
