There's more:

Love this one!

[soulfadelic]

Haha. Saxaphone on her noggin! The new Kenny G. I like that jacket she's wearing.

[jesuspolly]

she plays saxophone :O? wow, she always amazes me!

Polly plays the saxophone since the beginning of his career

[DrDark]

WOW, this is surprising. She's been the queen of secrecy about this stuff previously. Now it's on public display.

This is interesting ... Hoping not adversely affect the creativity and the final product. This is the most important thing.

[Skinned]

I was also surprised. This is surely an interesting project, very un-Polly, which feeds back into her own "I won't repeat myself" way of doing things.

[Kuk91]

I wonder if before they start recording all band would sit and listen to Polly's demos on the big studio speakers - that would have been an AWESOME moment for people to see.
I hope she releases ALL of her demos one day.

If it wasn't going well or ended up terrible I'm sure she'd just record new stuff in private and leave this as an experiment.

But, I have a lot of faith in Polly, and seeing as it's one-way glass I'm sure they'll probably forget people are even there.

Some people will be lucky to see the recording of the new album early this year. Hopefully everyone who wants to, will be able to hear the album later this year. It will be a fine year.

This is so unexpected from PJ, somebody who's always very careful about protecting her privacy. But even her recent public appearances -and they've been a lot- weren't much publicized, so I still get a hint of need for privacy. This leads me to wonder: will cameras be allowed to the event? I wouldn't take this for granted, although I obviously hope the event will be fully documented.

[Kuk91]

... : will cameras be allowed to the event? <...>

"House Rules: No mobile phones, cameras, video cameras or audio recording devices are allowed into the performance space. These items MUST be deposited in the cloakroom at Somerset House before starting the session. Failure to do so will result in entry not being permitted. Any items which may reasonably be considered not suitable / appropriate for use at the event will be confiscated. Please note that items are left at the owner’s risk."

I sure hope some people will find a way to work around these rules.
