Polly says, “‘Dry’ was one of the first successful songs I wrote. I hadn’t written that many, maybe 5 or 6, and would sit down and play them to any friend that would care to listen. I had always collected words and phrases in a notebook, so when my mum bought me an acoustic guitar that a friend of hers was selling, it felt natural to try and sing the words I had saved, and that’s how it began.

“John Parish had recently given me my first 4-track recording lesson and this was one of the first recordings I made on my own.”
