I’ve briefly introduced you to Polly with ‘Down By The Water’ which we used as our base inspiration for ‘This Is Not a Horror’ but she has written so much great music and is by far one of my favourite musicians of all time. She is the only artist to ever win the Mercury Music Award twice. The second win was last year with ‘Let England Shake’ which is the album that got me into her. It’s an anti-war record which she spent years researching for with the aim of putting the horrors of war into simple but powerful words. She achieves this perfectly in this haunting song which in which she plays an autoharp. PS she played one of the ‘Let England Shake’ tracks on the Andrew Marr Show. David Cameron was a guest and she slated him over arts cuts.
