Polly is just back from her first international gig! She and guitarist Steve Picken were invited to Rome to entertain the crowds at the ATP International Tennis Tour - the same tour that comes to Wimbledon in June. Once Federer and Nadal had finished on the courts, Polly played out a stomping set to a 3,000 strong crowd of sportspeople, celebrities and tennis fans - and went down an absolute storm!

With a live feed going out to another 15,000 people around the tournament, the huge success and rapturous feedback from the night has fuelled demand for the proposed Italian Club Tour later in the year.

Polly's manager is in talks with an Italian promotions company to arrange a club tour for the end of 2009, following her demo being heard in Rome recently. This would be in collaboration with renowned british blues artist Steve Philips of Notting Hillbillies fame, and would likely take place over the course of two weeks in November. Watch this space for updates...!

Polly and Steve Picken are heading back to the studio in May to record and produce new tracks with engineer Carl Mackintosh. In the meantime, Polly will be working on recording several acoustic tracks at Kiln Cottage Studios in Berkshire, where she will also be looking at writing vocals for the new album from Chris White.

World-class and world famous drummer Jimmy Copley is lined up to work with Polly on developing some of her tracks at his favourite studio in Bath. This will likely mean new versions of ‘Do It' and ‘Halcyon Days' will be available, as well as work on some new material yet to be released...
