Let England Shake

Hi! Last week I had the pleasure of going to see PJ Harvey at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow and needless to say, it was amazing! I have been a fan of PJ for a long time, she was a big influence for me when I was growing up as a teenager (oh the angst!) and it was so exciting to actually see her play live. The venue was excellent, it was a bit strange that it was a seated gig but it was quite nice. I think as I get older the more I appreciate such things, how boring! If you haven't already, make sure to listen to Let England Shake, her latest album. My favourite song from it is The Last Living Rose. For old times sake I have also put a link to one of my teenage songs of choice, Good Fortune... it's such a feel good song!

Oh and how could I forget, PJ was wearing a dress designed by Ann Demeulemeester, it was a long sleeved black dress with a leather band which resembled a corset, paired with a feather headband (which I am thinking about reconstructing myself, thoughts?!) It really fitted in with the mood of her album and the atmosphere of the gig, which at points was quite haunting.

My lovely friend Nicola managed to get us tickets for the 5th row, so apologies for the poor picture quality. I felt silly taking pictures when we were so close, it almost felt like an invasion of privacy but it's all good.

Going to gigs was something I used to do every month when I was younger, I'm not sure if I've become more picky or just too busy but these days it seems to be a once in a blue moon thing, which is a shame as I always really enjoy it. C'est la vie!
