About this event
NICK HARPER is one of the UK’s best kept musical secrets, as those who have witnessed the spellbinding, one-man show will tell you. He grew up surrounded by some of the ’60s most revered songwriters & musicians, not to mention being the son of Roy Harper. Since then, 20 years of crafting songs & touring the land has spawned a truly one-off, original guitarist & songwriter who stands alone as a UK great.
For over two decades, he has been dazzling audiences, reviewers & fellow artists alike with his heady mix of virtuosity, boyish charm, showmanship & sheer bravado. An imagination bursting with ideas has seen Nick release 11 solo albums to critical acclaim, earning a Number 1 spot in the charts with the seminal hit ‘Blue Sky Thinking’.
More recently, in 2017, Nick recorded his full band album Lies! Lies! Lies! with legendary producer Tchad Blake. Early 2018 saw Nick return to the live circuit with a newly formed solo set featuring quadraphonic sound & re-imaginations of songs pre-chosen by Nick’s fan base. The ‘100 Things’ tour proved to be a hugely successful return to the stage, with all but a handful of shows selling out.
In 2018 Nick performed his first spoken-word piece, A Wiltshire Tale, at some of the UK’s most prestigious venues. In 2019 he extensively toured the UK with the award-winning show, ’58 Fordwych Road’, featuring the acoustic explosion in swingin’ sixties London and providing a rare opportunity for fans to hear Nick perform his father’s material.
With a year of gigs postponed, Nick retreated to the studio. The resulting album, Phantastes, is totally divorced from 2020 in time and space.
The ‘Aaand We’re Back In The Room’ Tour for Autumn 2021 will concentrate on acoustic guitar and songs from all of Nick’s albums down the years. It promises to be a happy run of dates with all the euphoria of a pack of puppies let off the leash for the first time in a long time.
