Just because someone is a good artist doesn't mean she isn't a nightmare as a human being.
I've never met her so can't really comment - but the story went that my mate who was tour-managing her sacked himself fairly early in the piece because she was turning out to be a total nightmare to work with.
So the story goes.
re: Stroud College? It's DED wierd round there.
The best gigs I ever did were in Stroud - Stroud's fucking great. Gloucester on the other hand is really weird... Something strange happened there every time.
One night we were driving back after a gig (1am) - tried to get petrol at the only station for miles, and were shooed away by a policeman. "go up the road" he said. As we were pulling away, this woman at the door of the service station started going barmy banging her fists agains the door trying to get in etc
There wasn't a service station up the road so we came back.
Turns out that this guy had gone to the service station, lured the woman working inside out, then gone in, locked her out... then hung himself in front of her.
The other weird things in Gloucester were a bit more run of the mill. Fires. Violence. That sort of thing.

Apparently Bruce Gernand, my girlfriends sculpture tutor at St Martins used to tutor PJ Harvey too, just as she was getting signed to a record label.
PJ had a tutorial with him, about her mixed feelings about becoming an artist or musician. He explained that she could always come back to art, but becoming a rock star is much more important, and that she should give that a go first!
What a legend! Bruce we salute you!
Just think of what we could have missed out on.

I absolutely worship the ground she walks on and always have done!
I remember seeing her emerge, vamp-like at Glastonbury 2004, screeching like a banshee in her lipstick pink stilettoes.
PJ Harvey = goddess

he's a proud racist and republican.
but these issues are irrelevant to her music.
for one she doesn't sing about that kinda bullshit.
and two, she doesn't sing about vincent gallo.
yeh - i prefer Bjork though - she is infinitely madder

did they do that? i thought i'd seen every PJ performance at Glastonbury and missed that one. I know they did the BRITS, but i thought that was it.
anyway, it's a dorset thing

I bought 4 track demos on lovely vinyl when I was a wee lad and promptly dropped it on the floor and a big chunk of it smashed out before I'd even had a chance to listen to it.
I was right sad.
Gutted. I've still got my cherished vinyl copy at home, it has miraculously survived the onslaught of cat claws that were the ruination of my Muppets albums.
