Return to Eldorado Episode 5: Interview with Polly Perkins
This episode is split into two parts. Dave James says “When I went along to interview Polly I expected to spend a few minutes talking about Eldorado and then be on my. However, as soon as I met Polly we hit it off and I was completely overwhelmed by her kindness and magnetic personality. We soon got chatting about her life before Eldorado which she details in her book “Far Too Dainty”, and I decided it would be great to get some of the stories on tape. ”
This first video is Polly sharing some memories and stories about her past, including her time as a Windmill girl in London, hit records with Decca, TV work with the BBC, and dinner with The Krays!
