Hard to pigeon hole is probably an understatement when it comes to describing Ma Polaine's blend of blues roots and original writing although one critic imagined a young Billie Holiday gatecrashing Tom Waits in Swordfish Trombones mode.
The influences are there from blues to Nick Cave and Gillian Welch but the end product is defiantly original and different.
Tom Robinson loves them and they creep onto the menu of the more esoteric Radio 3 presenters while building an audience via the festival circuit and intimate venues like The Top Bar. If you're looking for something new and challenging ,they are definitely for you. As of course are the support act of Tony Stark and Nicolette Shae who broke the mould and a few rules when they last played here so a classic double bill for a Top Bar audience.
As always tickets are available at the venue or contact mjones572@hotmail.co.uk.
