Gig Of The Week
PJ Harvey and Seamus Murphy’s The Hollow Of Hand premieres at the Royal Festival Hall on Friday. An evening of poetry readings, a short film and new music, inspired by trips to Kosovo, Afghanistan and Washington, DC. PJ Harvey collected the words and Murphy the pictures, for this show and a book of the same name.
