Back Home In The UK, PJ Harvey And John Parish Continue Their Media Blitz With Appearances On BBC 6 Music’s Hub Sessions And XFM London’s Xposure

Returning home to the UK after several appearances in America to promote their A Woman A Man Walked By album, PJ Harvey and John Parish made two more media appearances yesterday.

First up was the BBC 6 Music Hub Session. Harvey and Parish performed “Black Hearted Love” and “Leaving California.” They were also interviewed by the program’s host, George Lamb. To hear the BBC 6 Music session with Harvey and Parish, click here and then click the “Listen” link. When the BBCi Radio Player opens, scroll forward to 02:11.49 into the program. The appearance by Harvey and Parish in the Hub Session was about 16 minutes in length. There are six days left from today to hear it.

Viewers in the UK only can watch the BBC 6 Music Hub Session with Harvey and Parish by clicking here. (It would not surprise me, though, if the video clips of the Hub Session make their way to You Tube for all to see. I hope so, anyway.)

Following the Hub Session appearance, Harvey and Parish then headed over to the Leicester Square studios of XFM London, where they were interviewed by DJ John Kennedy for the Xposure program. To hear the interview clips from the Xposure program featuring Harvey and Parish, click here and then click the individual audio links.

On a personal note, I should publicly thank John Kennedy for mentioning my name to Harvey during the interview. I had e-mailed Kennedy the link to the video of the appearance by Harvey and Parish on Los Angeles radio station KCRW-FM during SXSW. When Kennedy was talking to Harvey about the video, he mentioned that I had sent him the link. That portion of the interview can be heard by clicking here. I’m mentioned about 28 seconds in.

In addition to interviewing Harvey and Parish on the XFM London Xposure program, Kennedy also played some tracks from the new album as well as a cut from an album that the duo recorded in the early 1990s as part of a band they used to belong to. To hear the full appearance by Harvey and Parish on Xposure with the music, click here and then scroll down to “Last 7 Days – Xposure with John Kennedy.” Select the “Xposure with John Kennedy (31/03/2009)” program. The segment with Harvey and Parish starts at 01:02.47 into the program and lasts for approximately an hour. There is no scroll forward function on the XFM Media Player, so you can’t move forward to that point. The full program will be available for six days from today.

Next week, Harvey and Parish will perform a live session for XFM London’s Xposure program. More details on that to come.
