Seem like cool people. (Obviously) Look who they raised!  Wasn't Peej still living w/ them during ROM and TBYML? I remember some long ago TV interview she did for MTV during the time "Is That All There Is?" and Dance Hall were out and she mentioned considering moving out of her parents house. |

The link above seems to be not working. It is worth reading. https://www.marshwoodvale.com/people/20 ... va-harvey/ Quote: We were putting the musicians up here and feeding them, so being surrounded by musicians, music, and instruments obviously had a big influence on daughter Polly. She was writing songs right from her early teens, and it fills me with pride to think what she and Saul have achieved in their lives.

If you search for "Harvey" on the marshwoodvale web site you find some interesting random connections to Polly and the Harvey family. There is an article on Ben Waters (piano player and Polly's cousin), one on the composer Andrew Dickson which includes this intriguing snippet: "For example, the opening tune in Vera Drake was one that he had worked on in a band that a then fifteen-year-old PJ Harvey had been in with him. The tune was a song she sang about a goose fair that, as he put it, had the feel of ‘being simple but slightly sinister’. " and there is one on a lady called Val Crabb who seems to have been one of Eva's accomplices in putting on music shows in Dorset and ran the Hope and Anchor pub where Polly used to play gigs. |

That’s a great ‘oral history’ from Eva on her own life. Sounds wonderful. Anyone know what Saul does for a living? I think the only thing I’ve ever read about him is that he wanted Polly to play the song “Rid Of Me” at his wedding ceremony (haha). |

Saul runs the stone quarry on Ham Hill that their father used to run. They have a website: https://www.harveystone.co.uk/harveystone.html (So Saul and Polly are both in the rock business ....) https://www.facebook.com/holtjcbltd/photos/a.636947706315848/4876763682334208/ |

... and scrape around the Marshwood archive and you will find an interview with John Miles who took several of the most striking photographs of Polly and whose daughter Sarah made the short movies she's in, and pieces by Clive Stafford-Smith who was Shaker Aamer's solicitor and who she got to do a feature on Dorset County Hospital when she guest-edited the Today programme in 2014. Who knows, there may be more : ) |
