PJ Harvey parents: Meet Eva Harvey, Ray Harvey
Ray and Eva Harvey welcomed their second child, Polly Jean Harvey, into the world on October 9, 1969, in Bridport, Dorset.
She was raised on the family farm in Corscombe by her quarrying-owning parents on Ham Hill, which was the location of a major Iron Age hillfort.
Her parents introduced her to blues, Captain Beefheart, and Bob Dylan, among other artists whose music would eventually have an impact on her work. As ardent music lovers who frequently hosted gatherings and small performances, her parents counted Ian Stewart among their closest friends.
