>> Wine not? <<
The thirst of an actor

PJ Harvey was booked to appear at last year's Edinburgh Book Festival to promote her book, Orlam, and her rider caused a couple of headaches. One of her demands was for a very specific brand of fancy organic wine which organisers dutifully managed to track down and supply for her at great effort.

Sadly, she never ended up getting to drink it. One of the other things causing complications was PJ's very particular stage lighting requirements. While she was busy delaying the event, refusing to go on until the lights were just so and taking forever to sign them off – someone backstage snaffled her wine.

The actor Brian Cox, on the hunt backstage for something to slake his growing thirst, came across PJ's fancy wine and got stuck right in.

Haha! Maybe she didn’t mind, though, being a Succession fan
