Earlier this year PJ Harvey won the Mercury prize for her album Let England Shake – and tonight she plays the second of two sold-out concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, her final UK show of the year.

Our reviewer, Alex Macpherson, gave last night's show five stars. He said:

The cavernous acoustics enable Harvey to emphasise the stateliness of her material: in particular, The Guns Called Me Back Again and All and Everyone take on a certain grandeur, the helplessness and futility depicted in them matched by bravery, the impotence of their protagonists transcended by the freedom provided by Harvey's generously aching melodies.

We're streaming tonight's concert live from 8.15pm GMT (the performance begins at around 8.30pm). If you're watching the live stream, or you were in the audience last night, let us know your thoughts on PJ Harvey's performance in the comments below.
