Emma Pollock is a Scottish singer, songwriter, and guitarist.
A founding member of The Delgados, she signed a solo recording contract with British independent record label 4AD in 2005 after the amicable split of the band. She continues, however, to be involved in the influential Glasgow based label Chemikal Underground.[citation needed] Her first solo album, Watch the Fireworks, was released on 17 September 2007.
Pollock is a member of the cross-genre musical collective The Burns Unit, which plans to release an album in 2009. Other members include Sushil K Dade, Karine Polwart, Chris Difford and Kenny Anderson.
Pollock studied Physics at the University of Strathclyde and later Archaeology at the University of Liverpool. Her trowel is still on display in the Garstang Museum on Abercromby Square.
