I saw PJ Harvey at the Olympia in Dublin last night where she performed without a band, I've seen her play many times but last night was really one of those quite extraordinary evenings where everything comes together just right. I don't always get everything she does but last night it all made perfect sense, there really is nothing extraneous in her work she has pared it down to just the essential which for any artist is something to aspire to, it's very inspiring to see it in action.
