P J Harvey accepts her award
Last night P J Harvey became the first artist to win the Mercury Music Award twice. Harvey beat competition from Adele, Katy B (no, me neither), Tinie Temper and Ghostpoet amongst others. A decade after winning the award for New York inspired Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, Let England Shake marks an unexpected symmetry for the Mercury awards.  Years in the making, Harvey’s 2011 album involved much research into wars and contains 3 songs about the Gallipoli campaign.

I’m not sure, but this could also be the first time the sentence ‘First woman to...’ has not been used for an award win.
