Happy 55 To PJ HARVEY – One Of The Most Fascinating Artists Of Her Generation
9 October 2024
POLY JEAN HARVEY, known to us all as PJ Harvey, was
born in Bridport, Dorset, England on 9 October 1969.
Happy 55 to a remarkable singer-songwriter with a remarkable career
scoring several masterly albums. So far she recorded/released 10 LPs
with I Inside The Old Year Dying (2023) as the most recent one.
.
PJ always followed her own capricious path, exploring herself and her art from
different angels. With every album she surprised and she triumphed. Not many
can claim the same. One of the most compelling artists of her generation. Hands
down.

PJ HARVEY’s Wonderful Tiny Desk Concert This Day
17 November 2023
Tiny Desk Concerts is a video series of live concerts organised by
NPR Music at the work desk of host, musician and media personality
Bob Boilen in Washington, D.C. The series started in 2008.
All sorts of music genres was/is featured, starting artists and a series
of big names such as Sharon Van Etten, Yo La Tengo, The National, Jake Bugg,
Wilco, Coldplay, and The Flamings Lips (full list here) did their acoustic thing
in a small, yes, very tiny little place.
Today singer-songwriter legend PJ HARVEY (10 albums since 1988, aged 54) was
the guest. She did a 6-song set, 5 pieces from her new album I Inside the Old Year
Dying and one oldie.
“I Inside the Old I Dying”
“A Noiseless Noise”
“A Child’s Question, August”
“I Inside the Old Year Dying”
“White Chalk”
Her performance is nothing less than wonderful, gripping and masterly.
Down to earth, genuine, and wholehearted.
Enjoy.

PJ HARVEY Invited JOHNNY MARR On Stage For 3 Songs Last Night In Manchester
Last July PJ HARVEY released her 10th album, titled
I Inside the Old Year Dying (you can stream it below).
NME said: “The Dorset-born musician’s first album since 2016 is both elusive
and mesmerising. It takes a little time to immerse yourself in Harvey’s world,
but once there, you won’t want to leave.”
She’s on tour now to promote the album. Last night, she played
the 2nd of two consecutive nights at the Albert Hall in Manchester.
PJ invited former The Smiths‘ guitar hero Johnny Marr (who joins
someone on stage every other week) for these 3 (old) songs.
– C’MON BILLY –
(From 1995 album ‘Bring You My Love’)
– WHITE CHALK –
(Title track from her 2007 LP)
– THE DESPERATE KINGDOM OF LOVE –
(From 2004 album ‘Uh Uh Her’)
