🎵 Did folk music inspire Angela Carter's writing? Read all about it in @pollypaulusma's Angela Carter and Folk Music, out Dec this year - but in the meantime you can hear her research in album format.

Here's a little taster of 'Snakeskin' with beautiful bass playing from Joh Parker @jpdoublebass to entice you to my live shows in the autumn.

Today's clickbait is #Manchester - come to Gulliver's @gulliversnq on Friday 30 Sept and wear some fancy dress... even just a sparkly something or a feather will count.

I am in the process of making eleven music videos, one for each of the songs on my soon-to-be-released album 'The Pivot On Which The World Turns'.

It's exhausting, and vastly time consuming, especially because I'm learning so much and such a novice. But I never thought I'd love the process so much.

I had never really handled a video camera beyond family snapshots, nor done much in the way of live streams, before launching my Patreon page in January 2020. Since then, I've learned so much about just having a go at things that seem quite daunting. My gratitude to the free university that is Youtube is unbounded.

My point: have a go.

This photo came up in my feed yesterday. I miss that guitar. She was called Eliza. Had to sell her in one of The Purges and I’m sure she’s happy and bringing lots of love and happiness but ow! it still hurts.

Who took this? If you’re out there let me know so I can credit.

Musicians out there - have you ever sold an instrument that still makes you feel a bit of a wince? Do share….

This is what I did last night. Oh my god but I do love these monthly live shed streams ('sheams'?) for my @Patreon patrons. They feel like a woop for joy, a shot in the arm, a flare in the night sky. Thank you if you were there. ✨💥✨

My new album 'Pivot' (coming out in Sept) is an extended rumination on the roles we all play, the 'hats' we wear.

So... when you come to a gig, wear something from the dress-up box. Feathers. Sparkles. Hats. You choose. I will, too.

And/or, post me photos here on Instagram or facebook, and I'll start to gather them up in a great big noticeboard of silly joy.

I promise prizes.

I think the contents of your toolbox says a lot about you.

Mine: pliers; tape; spare strings for many different guitars; batteries; lipstick.

What’s in yours? Do tell…. 👇

Sound-checking under uv light last night with @kathrynwilliamsuk and @michelestodartofficial for Kathryn’s beautiful show.

I was very honoured to be in her spontaneous band for #ramblinrootsfestival #bucksstudentsunion #americana

Her new limited edition vinyl came out yesterday - ‘Introduction’ - go check it out, it’s gorgeous. Her tour continues to Birmingham today. ❤️

I am busy self-making (yes, self-filming, self-editing) a video for every song of my next album, 'Pivot', and they are going to start appearing in June.

If you'd like to know when they drop, subscribe to my youtube channel and select the little bell to get notifications. Link in bio.

The 'rona cancelled my Easter family plans and it is now cancelling this gig.

Sorry everyone -- but I think we have a new date for this show to be announced imminently! It's not a cancellation, just a postponement.

I'm playing live from my shed TONIGHT for my beloved patrons at 6pm GMT.

I currently have 53 beautiful souls who each help me do this thing I love. I want to play songs tonight to soothe any agitated souls out there: this is my purpose tonight. Please send your requests.

Patreon is an amazing concept, if you've not yet discovered it. It's artistic patronage in the old sense, but collective, egalitarian, so that lots of people putting £4/mth in a pot can make a very real difference to an artist's life. There's no commitment: you can come and go as you please. Perhaps you might consider it, just this month, and then you can join us?

More info at:
patreon.com/pollypaulusma

Wherever you are, I send love and soothing to you in this agitated world. One day we will all figure out that we are all actually the same thing; until then, music does a good job of trying to demonstrate it. X

Here's the next installment of my series of cover

Here's the next installment of my series of cover songs from @PaulMcCartney's amazing 'The Lyrics' book.

This is no 2 - 'And I Love Her' by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

This whole project is a joy for me: figuring out that bonkers key change was life-affirming.

I am also getting to know my camera better. I am using a lens I bought about 25 years ago along with a beautiful old Olympus film camera from my old pal Jamie Lindsay. I took the lens off and have been using it with a digital Canon camera. There's something about this old lens, it's very beautiful, very forgiving.
