Roy Harper
The London Palladium, W1F 7TF , [Venue Details]Celebrated British folk icon Roy Harper has announced part two of his final tour this autumn. Performing three very special live dates across September and October at some of the UK’s most prestigious venues, Harper will also be joined by special guest Nick Harper.
Roy Harper is one of the very few surviving singer-songwriters from the counterculture of the 60s who has kept their reputation intact. Of the generation of troubadours who came of age in the London folk clubs of that era, some have passed away, while others have surrendered to the regurgitation of the blandest form of acoustic folk music. But among the survivors, Harper is one figure whose body of work, comprising 23 studio LPs and almost as many live and compilation releases, has come to stand for a particularly single-minded form of integrity.
Now officially ‘retired’, and living in a secluded corner of Ireland, Harper has recently been hailed as a key influence by a much younger generation of devoted starsailors who instinctively recognise his innovations, his refusal to compromise and his visionary world view. The likes of Fleet Foxes and Jim O’Rourke are avowed fans; and in previous decades he has enjoyed public endorsements and tributes from the likes of Led Zeppelin, Kate Bush, Pink Floyd’s Dave Gilmour and many more.
