Polly Gibbons is a proven force on the international jazz circuit having been twice-nominated as "Best Jazz Vocalist" by the BBC and Jazz FM and compared to a female version of Gregory Porter by US magazine Downbeat.
While an accomplished jazz artist, Polly’s musical influences as a vocalist and composer also leans heavily into blues, soul, gospel and R&B - so much so that The Sunday Times described her jazz vocals as “vintage R&B with shades of Aretha Franklin”. She has performed at London’s Royal Albert Hall opening for George Benson and Gladys Knight, and had a residency at New York's legendary Birdland Jazz Club. In London she is a regular at Ronnie Scott’s as well as performing at venues and festivals across the USA, Europe and Asia, from Java Jazz in Indonesia to the Montreal Jazz Festival in Canada, securing her status as a seasoned, internationally acclaimed artist. It's a rare honour to welcome her sharing her songs and stories with us in our intimate venue.
