Spot-on review, apart from the fact that Polly is a Dorset lass, not Devon.<br /> <br /> I found the little-girl "thorn in me foot" thing a tad twee, but apart from that a great performance from Polly and one of the coolest bands you'll ever see.<br /> <br /> I love it when an artist ditches the Greatest Hits and does something fresh (a la Neil Young's Tonight's the Night and Greendale tours) so kudos to Polly for that. The audience still lapped it up and almost - almost - stayed quiet during the softer, ukulele-driven numbers. The stillness at the end of The Soldier was shattered by the sound of crashing bottles from the bar - Polly's bemused smile was a picture.<br /> <br /> Last time at the Bridgewater was an "unplugged" White Chalk affair, this time an esoteric setlist from her John Parish repertoire - the girl is nothing if not eclectic.<br />
