The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

I've been wondering that too. There seemed to be some kind of after-show party. I was in the stalls and when we tried to leave the theatre the same way we came in (via the stalls bar) we weren't allowed through but there were several people with passes waiting to go in there. Polly was still up in the box, chatting to her friends, so she may well have been waiting for the after-show (or she may just have been waiting until the rest of the audience left so she wouldn't get accosted by any fans.)

I'm also hoping a video will emerge as there was definitely someone 'official' filming the show ie. he had a professional-looking hand-held camera and was openly filming at the front. (He got up on the stage while Polly was singing - probably so that that damn music stand wasn't blocking his view!) I think that if they were planning to release a DVD of the whole show they would have had at least two cameras (I only saw the one) so I'm thinking it's maybe something that will either be put on an official website or released as an 'extra' on a CD or maybe a few clips will be included as part of something else. Whatever it is, hopefully it will include Polly's performance.

wasnt there any people filming on their mobile phones? we are more likely to see that than anything official.. and no one else took any pictures?!

A couple of flashes went off before I took my camera out so there must at least be other photos but I haven't seen them online.

I've had no luck. There's a few video and pics from Nick's Dublin, Edinburgh, Amsterdam and Antwerp gigs from this week, but none from London last Sunday.

still no luck finding anything, i was sure someone would put something on line..., ach well

Hello
Was anyone on this list at the Royal Festival Hall , Secret Life of the Love Song by Nick Cave, 1999? I was there, and remember he changed the lyrics to West Country Girl in a way that seemed cruel to Polly -who was there in the audience. Did he also send a love letter from the stage to Susie who was in the front row? I remember it that way but time may have conflated different times I've seen Nick Cave.

Thanks to anyone who remembers more clearly than me

Lots of other posts there from Nick. He's incredibly candid (the opposite of Polly).

You ain't kidding.

Thanks for this. Nothing incredibly revelatory but it does flesh out in the details a bit. Nice slice of insight there.
