Elderflower cordial is delicious!

Roses from the garden.

Attempt at elderflower cordial today. Will let you know if it turns out.

Exam time. Holy moly. Supporting young people through this time - everyone does it differently. I’m waking up early to get my songwriting time in the bank before I’m needed. And then it’s full-on brow mopping and snack supplying. Anyone else in this? Tips for survival?

Wildfires is now available on YouTube. youtube.com/pollypaulusm...

Thank you 🙏🔥

Polly has created something very special here. You really should, at the very least, listen to this album. The vinyl, I can attest, is mind-blowing.

1 Over the coming weeks, if you’d like to know, I’d love to tell you the story of how this very long epic poem of an album of mine, WILDFIRES, came to be.

Last date of this epic WILDFIRES tour I'm undertaking with @jonthorneinsta will be @thegladcafe in buzzing #Glasgow. Tickets for this show -- www.thegladcafe.co.uk/events/f93ed... All the tickets for all the shows -- linktr.ee/wildfirestour

Tour date 20 finds me in Lazonby, Penrith in Cumbria. I’ll be singing my heart out, singing songs from my five previous records and then the new one WILDFIRES (part 1 this night). Can you help me to fill this show up to the rafters?

I wrote a new Substack essay for songwriters about a new discovery: polyptotonic rhyming. It features Danny from Withnail and I: if I spike you, you'll know you've been spoken to. Perhaps you would like to read it. You can also hear me read it to you. pollypaulusma.substack.com/p/songwriter...

Christmas stocking idea: 2 tickets to a show, printed off, in a card, tucked into a stocking. Surprise! Or 2 shows, part 1 and part 2 (see poster) with an air b&b, to make it a get-away. Either way, Christmas extends for 3 months… Tickets — linktr.ee/wildfirestour #christmas #giftidea l

Making videos the last couple of days at @cambridgejunction (thank you Rob!) and @westroadconcerthall (thank you Anthony!) and out on the beautiful River Cam in a punt. Winter punting is amazing. @mickpaulusma helped me - someone had to punt. Should be finished by NYE. C‘mon, let’s be ‘avin yer.

New substack essay published today. Please do join my community to read my irregular musings about this journey I'm on. Songwriter on Fire 17 pollypaulusma.substack.com

Every Mon-Fri 6.45-7.15am UTC I go live on Instagram @pollypaulusma to invite a quiet club of morning writers to share writing time with me. We don’t talk. We use the time as a little island of quiet to write stream-of-consciousness torrents that fall off the pen. Join us if it could be helpful.

Five more minutes to grab my Bandcamp-only EP Cave Painting before I take it down. Grab yours now… pollypaulusma.bandcamp.com/album/cave-p...

Lots of lovely stuff at my Bandcamp today for Bandcamp Friday including an EP of songs only available today FOR ONE DAY ONLY pollypaulusma.bandcamp.com

Book proofs arrived.

A quick chat with Neil Cowley before we launched into it at Studiowz Nov 2023. Over and Over is one of two very spacey synth-infused songs on Wildfires. Take a listen pollypaulusma.lnk.to/overandover Preorder Wildfires pollypaulusma.lnk.to/wildfires

Should I be posting here too? Tell me tell me xx

I wrote a new Substack (free for all to read this time), all about songs as a response to grief, and sensory deprivation in boarding school. And yes, that's me, aged 10. Find out why it's a rabbit and not a fish when you read it. pollypaulusma.substack.com/p/songwriter...

Going on tour - tickets linktr.ee/wildfirestour

Just putting my tour together for March 2025 and feeling this uncontrollable feeling of excitement… there’s something about a tour just hanging there like a peach waiting to happen, all those gorgeous people and amazing memories, makes me goosebump. Music is the dogs. #livemusic

This is a still from a video I’m making for my next record ‘Wildfires’. I’m making two hour-long movies, one for each part of this epic album - Part 1 Sparks and Part 2 Embers. I’m making these long films to encourage you my dear listener to lie in a dark room and gift yourself a full immersion.

Last day of inspiring, thoughtful MA songwriting final presentations at ICMP. I’m awestruck at the courage and originality on display. Thank you to all the students I’ve had the privilege to accompany this academic year. 🙏 ⭐️
