Wow! Really recommend this for anyone who can get. A few years back I managed to see her being interviewed as part of a New Yorker magazine festival. She was interesting, witty, and responsive. On that occasion she also performed a short solo set, but no idea if this will come on the back of this event.

Thanks to Alexandra Pringle, of Bloomsbury Publishing, for this quote:

Anne Enright: 'What would you have been like as a man'

PJ Harvey: 'I've never felt man nor woman'

Wow, that's a great quote. I could have used it in my paper on "Man-Size" for Queer theory class.

And there's another photo! Polly has a guitar with her, so I'm dying to know if she played any new songs.

I love her hair like this. I think.
