ABOUT POLLY MORRIS MUSIC

Polly Morris
Polly MorrisGuitar, Piano, Singing & Song Writing
If you could imagine the love child of Bill Bailey and Victoria Wood, that would be Polly Morris. Her observational comedy songs about such things as supermarket shopping or the perils of email, are songs that you can instantly identify with. These are peppered with more thoughtful acoustic numbers that pull at the heart strings. Polly has been singing her songs from an early age, playing piano or guitar as accompaniment. She enjoys writing the songs as much as she loves performing them.
Brian Harries
Brian HarriesPiano
Brian is a supremely skilled piano and accordion player. He started performing at the age of 11 at the local pub and hasn’t stopped since. He plays by ear with a style that is instantly recognisable. However, having had many years of experience as a radio presenter, he is also a relaxed compere and enjoys chatting to the audience. He feels that his best points are that he is short, fat, bald, Old and Welsh! All of which he has been for some time.
Kate Hunter
Kate HunterPiano & Flute
Kate is a professional orchestrator and music arranger. She is able to listen to a single line of music and hear all the other parts in her head. The rest of the band are quite impressed with this. Kate plays a number of instruments but her main instruments are piano and flute. As the band members would tell you, “We LOVE having Kate with us but she lives up the impertinent M3 and has a proper job so it is fairly rare that we are allowed to have her. However, on the occasions when she is with us – those are the times we have the most fun as a band”

Polly Morris

Best known for her observational comedy songs, Polly Morris has a rare gift of being able to bring people together through her music. All audience members can identify with her songs about the frustrations of mobile phones or internet shopping, whilst her more poignant songs lift the audience away in surprising changes of mood.  A multi-instrumentalist, her solo performances are accompanied by her guitar, piano and occasional double- bass. Along with songs from her own albums, Polly will often delight the audience with surprisingly clever spoof songs.

Polly Morris Band

The Polly Morris Band is a female-led musical comedy band that performs laugh-out-loud funny songs and also heartbreakingly poignant songs. The band is well known for its tight harmonies, beautiful arrangements and moments to make you smile. Polly Morris is joined by Mandy Stansfield, Kate Hunter and Brian Harries for performances of originality, great music and surprising moments. Their audience interaction and flexibility to mould the performance to those who are there have lead to sell-out shows across the south. Occasionally the band is also joined by Bob Carter, Joel Solomons, Leonardo MacKenzie or Paul Thomas

Polly Morris Band and Troupe

There are a few times during the year where The Polly Morris Band is joined by an extended group of performers and friends for a theatre extravaganza.  These are one- off evenings of delightfulness!    Music, Sketches, Song, Dance and moments of hilarity have all been experienced.   The Back Stage Crew have often been found on stage in a drama or music role. There has been ballet, upside down piano playing, two people playing one instrument, changing of clothes during a song and an ad-hoc dance troupe along with special performances of the Band’s songs. There is always something fresh and if you can get a ticket for one of these very unique shows, you will not be disappointed.
