In close association with The Mill Sessions and The Dumfries and Galloway Festival The Bakehouse Out and About brings you a unique opportunity to catch iconic Jazz, Blues and Folk singer Marilyn Middleton Pollock on possibly her last touring gig in the UK. Not to be missed!
This is a rare chance to see, a singer who is as well known in the World of Jazz and Blues as she is in that of Folk Music in a duo with the acclaimed American fiddler,Kate Kramer. She’s from Chicago but her music has taken her right across the USA and then to Europe where her first album ‘Nobody Knows You’ in 1988 won the Music Retailers Association Award for Excellence. Marilyn retired from touring over a decade ago but was reluctantly persuaded out of retirement in 2009 to perform at Moniaive Folk Festival where an audience in excess of 300 gave her a standing ovation.
Nothing less than stupendous – Bill Connolly
A voice like a brillo pad dunked in honey. – Donny O’Rourke
