Huey Morgan(Fun Lovin Criminals) seemed to be quite happy about her win last night, and seemed to be in favour of her winning the award earlier. He should probably be added as a Polly fan.

Metronomy:

"Thank you so so much for all the twitter support surrounding the Mercury nom! We had an amazing time & PJ Harvey was incredible!" on twitter

In one of those videos posted in the 'Mercury Awards' thread, Everything, Everything also list her as one of their favourites to win. =)

More Patrick Wolf. Great quote too.

"You know how Dolly Parton owns Dollywood? It’s like a Dolly Parton theme park. I would really love one of those: a Patrick Wolf water theme park. And we could have different vibes and each slide would have a different band. So Björk could do one thing, and then PJ Harvey, and you could get maybe Nick Cave to do one too."

Everything Everything

"PJ's made a very daring album, and it's done really well in a kind of commercial way which is weird. It's a great album. It ticks all the boxes full on"

Will Sergeant (Echo & The Bunnymen)

"Will & Peasy went to see the brilliant PJ Harvey at Manchester Apollo last night - it was an amazing show, we last saw her play at SXSW in 2009."
