PJ Harvey and John Parish takeover

We hand control of our music site over to PJ Harvey and her musical collaborator John Parish. Polly and John are interviewed by John Harris, and there's pictures from Polly's favourite photographer Maria Mochnacz. Elsewhere, John Parish commissions an interview with Chinese film director Xiaolu Guo, and provides us with some early music that brought him and Polly together. Their new album A Woman A Man Walked By is out now
