Haven't you asked him about the documentary? I would ask how the work is going and how they are going to release it (online platforms, selected theaters, DVD, all of that, or maybe they will show it before some live shows when it's possible).somme wrote:So I saw Seamus Murphy last night at my university, talking about a lot of his career and of course his collaboration with PJ Harvey.
Well done, somme. Thanks. I love his comments on the controversy surrounding the Community of Hope song.somme wrote:So I saw Seamus Murphy last night at my university, talking about a lot of his career and of course his collaboration with PJ Harvey.
Here's some info I remember:
If I remember anything else, or if you have any questions, please ask!- He got demos for Let England Shake two years before the album was released.
- She doesn't interfere with his work at all. She lets him go off and do his own thing.
- A lot of the footage for the Hope Six songs is from his previous work.
- They are releasing one more video, for The Orange Monkey.
- They were having legal issues with the video. Polly's management were scared a man in the video might sue them but they've sorted it out now.
- I asked a question! Basically about the legal wranglings, but then I asked to see the video.. and he happily played it! It's seemed as though all the footage was from Afghanistan - I remember a tank, American soldiers, and some fish!
- I also commented on how I loved the gospel choir in The Community of Hope video, which he seemed pleased with.
- I was the only one who asked about his work, others asked about what camera he used, not what he took with the cameras.
- He then asked whether I'd seen the controversy surround the Community of Hope song, obviously I said I had! He then went on to pretty much say the whole thing is bollocks (I am paraphrasing) and they decided the best thing to do would be to ignore it.
Sorry I didn't ask about that. But I assume work is still ongoing and it'll be released on DVD/online.Kuk91 wrote:Haven't you asked him about the documentary?

I share this feeling. I love watching her interviews and I want new ones so badly! I'm so glad that she decided to talkI can't believe we will have our first official performance soon and that she will TALK about the record. I miss her!
When did she perform "Near the Memorials..." live? Do you mean the book launch last October? I thought none of the songs had been performed live yet (apart from those two nights).Blackie wrote:Great news. My guess is she'll perform "Near the Memorials" which she has done solo a couple times, but who knows ?
I hope she talks about the album and not only the book.
I just love to watch her talking, so whatever she talks about I'll be very very happy lolsomme wrote:You never know... they must just talk about how she doesn't want to talk about it.
