The Delgados曾是一支很有影响力的苏格兰独立英伦摇滚乐队，在同期乐队中广受好评。乐队曾自创独立厂牌 Chemikal Underground，发行过一些乐队的专辑（其中包括Mogwai和Arab strap). Emma至今仍在参与运作这个厂牌。这个厂牌以签约一些优秀乐队闻名，曾赢得BBC电台主持John Peel的支持，得到了主流听众的关注。The Delgados的唱片在国内外都获得过大卖。<I Fought The Angels >这首歌还因曾被用于美剧<实习医生格雷>的插曲为他们打开了美国市场。另外，曾被用作日本动漫<神枪少女> 主题曲的 <The Light Before We Land>，也让他们为日本歌迷所熟知。此外，他们的专辑 <The Great Eastern>还曾获得水星音乐奖的提名。The Delgado被评价为“技术娴熟的作曲者”。
自从2005年乐队解散后，Emma Pollock陆续在Chemical Underground 发行了两张单飞后的专辑 <Watch the Fireworks>和 <The Law of Large Numbers>，并大获成功，另有新专辑将于2015年晚些发布。她本人还与加拿大乐队The Burns Unit，苏格兰民谣歌手King Creosote以及其他音乐人录制专辑。她还曾于2004年在苏格兰议会大楼启用仪式上演出。现在的她仍然在英国和欧洲开展巡回演出，此次中国巡演将为中国歌迷带来一次近距离的独特音乐体验。

The Delgados were influential in the Scottish underground alternative and were one of the most critically acclaimed bands of their era. As one of several bands to have emerged from the independently ran Chemikal Underground label (home to Mogwai and Arab Strap), Emma herself still co-runs and releases music from this label. The label's reputation for signing a plethora of high quality bands and having had the endorsement of the legendary BBC Radio One DJ John Peel bring them to the mainstream attention, The Delgados enjoyed commercial success at home and abroad. In particular, their song "I fought the angels" allowed the band to break new ground in the United States, with its use on the hit TV Series "Grey's Anatomy" and also as far afield as Japan with their song "The Light before we land" used as the opening for the anime movie "Gunslinger". Finally, having also been nominated for a mercury music prize for their album "The Great Eastern", The Delgados cemented their reputation as skilled songwriters.
Since The Delgados split in 2005, Emma Pollock has enjoyed her own success and has continued to be involved with Chemikal Underground. Her first two releases "Watch the Fireworks" and"The Law of Large Numbers" were both released on this label, with a new release slated for later in 2015 coming. She has been involved in a variety of other projects, namely recording alongside Canadian outfit The Burns Unit, Scottish folk singer King Creosote and many others while also having performed at the opening ceremony of the Scottish Parliament building in 2004 and continuing to tour her music throughout the UK and Europe. The China tour promises to be an excellent success and a unique chance to enjoy Emma's music up close and personal!
