– Mick Harvey talking to Sarah Corbett-Batson on his last UK tour.
Mick Harvey (PJ Harvey collaborator / ex-Bad Seed) has announced a tour throughout the UK and Europe this summer. The tour dates are split between solo material and his Intoxicated Man set of interpretations of the songs of Serge Gainsbourg.
