Wiggins is so superbly unassuming, he looks like he's about to say 'Pop the gold medal in the post, I'm nipping out for some biscuits'

Wow! Really recommend this for anyone who can get. A few years back I managed to see her being interviewed as part of a New Yorker magazine festival. She was interesting, witty, and responsive. On that occasion she also performed a short solo set, but no idea if this will come on the back of this event.

Thanks to Alexandra Pringle, of Bloomsbury Publishing, for this quote:

Anne Enright: 'What would you have been like as a man'

PJ Harvey: 'I've never felt man nor woman'

Wow, that's a great quote. I could have used it in my paper on "Man-Size" for Queer theory class.

And there's another photo! Polly has a guitar with her, so I'm dying to know if she played any new songs.

I love her hair like this. I think.
