Polly skate on with infectious abandon
Skating Polly in full swing at The Lexington, London [Mik Sabiers]

Skating Polly
The Lexington, London

 
MIXING melody with cacophony, poetic lyrics and lots of attitude Skating Polly are making loud and in-your-face antsy rock with a twist.

Formed back in 2009 by stepsisters Kelli Mayo – then just nine years old — and Peyton Bighorse (aged 14), and augmented by brother Kurtis Mayo since 2017, Oklahoma’s Skating Polly have built not only a big back catalogue but also a reputation for sizzling live shows; they don’t disappoint.
