The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

Stage set up and waiting. Polly had 2 different autoharps.



Obviously the first couple of rows of seats were reserved!

This is the boys playing 'The Colour of the Earth' if i remember correctly. Yes were were the 4th row back!



They seem to swap around a lot on the instruments, except for the Drummer.


The sound was amazing, everything was crystal clear but then again this much gear in a small venue i would hope so

I guess by this point you are wondering if we ever took pictures of Polly

Well...

Low light levels and swaying with the music make it kinda tricky to get a good shot, especially as i didn't want to use flash plus there were lights pointing at us playing havoc with the camera light sensor!

But...

















Remember google bots and naughty people these images are copyright to me! Although the good folk and true fans of this forum are more than welcome to add them to their personal collection

There was a bloke taking official photos/video so hopefully they will surface at some point on Pollys website/facebook.

I hope when you wake up and log in this brings a smile to start your day.

I do have one more very special photo but i will save that until later

Right now i better get some sleep!

thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for sharing all of this. You're an angel!

Your welcome! Waiting for my account to be activated was killing me, being able to read the comments and not share the info was crazy.
We can't believe how lucky we are to have been there and hope that everyone enjoys the photos.

I wish i had taken some videos as well but was very aware that the LCD screen on my camera was shining in the faces of people behind me but then again the wait for February just adds to the excitement.

she played the river!

thanks a lot for your pics, setlist and info

Wow!

Thank you halfpint_fighter and welcome!

Thank you!! And sorry for the delay. We do get the occasional bot/spammer and they make a such a mess, so we screen new members. I get email notifications, but for some reason they can be slowwww... I didn't know there were people waiting in the queue until today.

all the album songs plus one
The Guns Called Me...
could that be the first new b-side?

Thank you very very much halfpint_fighter. But I'm very curious to read your opinion about the new songs. What do you thin of them? Did they sound like "The Last Living Rose" and "Written On the Forehead"?
