The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

I don’t think they ever had a falling out at any point (not that we can ever be sure) – Polly simply took a different direction for a while after To Bring You My Love and Is This Desire? , and John’s style didn’t suit it – and he wasn’t interested in it either. I might be wrong but I think he also ...

Did the friendship between Polly Jean Harvey and John Parish went sour? I only asked because when Polly put out "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea" and toured behind the album.

What did John Parish thought of Polly's "Uh Huh Her" album?

What did John Parish thought of her touring band ...

I still wished that PJ Harvey would have added another date on her upcoming U.S. tour like Dayton, Ohio or Huber Heights, OH. Just saying.

Probably because Polly Jean Harvey is an established artist in her own right. Maybe the organizers of the Glastonbury festival wanted to have Shania Twain and others to headline.

[Polly hardly ever changes band members much these days. She always has John Parish, Jean-Marc Butty, James Johnston and Giovanni Ferrario playing behind her. Polly does not hire any other bass players or other guitar players backing her up since 2004.

Well, that’s not exactly true, is it? I ...

I can't see Polly writing a memoir of her life at this point. I believe one will come out after she leaves this earth.

Yeah, it seems very unlikely.

Same. This clip is pointless, and people running in fields in slo-mo is such a visual cliché... on a pure visual level it is just as uninspired..and the editing is pretty bad too, I was quite doubtful reading that the director is Oscar-nominated.

I agree with you. I was not impressed with the ...

Following her sold-out UK and European headline tour last year, PJ Harvey will perform alongside her bandmates John Parish, Jean-Marc Butty, Giovanni Ferrario, and James Johnston. To develop the live show, Harvey worked with theatre director Ian Rickson, set designer Rae Smith, lighting designers ...

Is anyone home?

^ Yeah, it’s probably pretty much it, but I still wouldn’t totally count out some more dates popping up—there are some gaps in their schedule and plenty of festivals haven’t revealed their full lineups yet, so maybe James isn’t 100% up to date on what has been already announced and what hasn’t.

I ...

I saw the most recent pedalboard for IITOYD on World Cafe. Polly has a Boss Chromatic Tuner, a Chase Bliss Audio Warped Vinyl chorus/vibrato pedal, a Crowther Hot Cake distortion pedal, and an EarthQuaker Devices Transmisser reverb pedal. Just wanted to say it on here.

I feel like this board is dying from lack of participation.

Oh I would love her to go back to something more angry and energetic, but I won't set out expectations out of these very few words, she could very much change her trajectory, but at least she seems to already have an idea of where she's heading next so I feel like we won't have to wait 7 extra ...
