lo polidoro

Born in Burgundy in 1975 of French and Italian parents, Lo grew up in rural central France, in a house full of the singing of her mother and sisters. In her teens she fell in love with the music of the 1960's folk movement - French, British and American - and began performing some of this material with her sister Aurelie around the caf?s and bars. This culminated in the formation of the six-piece folk-rock band Legenda?eur - becoming a minor legend in the region.

In 1998 she made a sudden decision to move to London and, within a few months, met a network of mucicians who inspired her to learn fingerstyle guitar and to begin writing songs. She also discovered the octave mandola.

Numerous club and pub gigs later, often appearing with many of South London's roots music luminaries, Lo has established a small band, a debut CD of original songs...

Lo was also in the Prog Rock band Circulus for the past 5 years. She left the band last December to concentrate on her new album 'Le Carrousel des jours'.

She has done many Vocal recordings for other artists such as Cathedral, Mariane Segal, Boo Sher, Monday Club Circus and more...

Lo is also the singer in the band Fleur de Paris, a quartet playing 1940s style french Chansons ( Featuring: Lo, Martin Brown, Kirsten Hammond & Christian Spruce).
