PJ Harvey in Arras vs Coldplay fans!

PJ Harvey sang several tracks from her latest album "Let England Shake" and a few older ones too.
Standing in the crowd Harvey fans were dotted amongst the the sea of Coldplay fans. Sadly her music was drowned out by the bad sound system and the Coldplay fans that looked at each other with confusion as Polly Jean changed instruments. In hindsight she should have performed before the Cold war kids ( with Portishead ) on the greenroom stage.  Her fans would have preferred it too.

Her haunting voice and emotive lyrics kept me strong and I enjoyed the performance.
I would have liked her to play a few more tracks from her older albums but as they say beggars cant be choosers.

Note to self- Coldplay fans are pretty hardcore!
