Sadly I don't think Polly Mae will be appearing with them in Sheffield. I was at the QE Hall and it was a brilliant night. Hugely entertaining and very funny. Sam Lee doing Down In Cupid's Garden (with appropriately amended lyrics) was one of the night's highlights, a very clever skit on sexuality. At one point Jon Boden abandoned mics and came to the front of the stage to sing an unaccompanied version of Peter Bellamy's Australia, which was also remarkable. A terrific feel-good if somewhat bawdy night that surely confirms Bellowhead as Britain's best live band (though fans of Demon Barbers are, of course, entitled to disagree).
