Talented Rosie @FinnCalvert takes on the title role of Polly Button on Saturday night 8pm at the Manor Pavilion @sidmouthfolk . @Mentalmelodic Anya Fay narrates as George Eliot and a cast of fine musicians weave wonderful harmonies around the loom.

[Daisybell @daisybellfolk]

@sidmouthfolk Looking forward to singing harmonies at the Sing Like A Daisybell workshop on Tuesday afternoon 2.30-4.00 at the Methodist Church. No experience necessary. Fun will be had.

Keith Donnelly playing it dark at at The Manor Pavilion @sidmouthfolk on Saturday 8pm. The Undoing of Polly Button. Guilty? You decide.

[Daisybell @daisybellfolk]

@warwickfolkfest thank-you so much for inviting us to play. We had a wonderful weekend. Next stop @sidmouthfolk with @pollybuttonfolk as well as an hour with Daisybell and another riotous singing workshop.

Seems like a good day to announce that we are bringing the show to @sidmouthfolk 5th August. Polly Button was murdered whilst heavily pregnant in 1832 by her married lover. Here's what the media said at the time. #InternationalWomensDay
