Roy Harper: "Apparently, there is sometimes a gulf between man and myth. It differs from day to day, night to night. I never really know where it is, or even that it is, but it might become apparent after some particular action. It may appear for a moment during the singing of a song, in the tear of an inspiration or the re-telling of a tale. Every day is a day of discovery. Every night has a different story..."
Don't miss this chance to see the astonishing, multi-award winning, iconic British folk rock troubadour bring alive tracks from his first album in over a decade, ‘Man & Myth’, plus songs from seminal album ‘Stormcock’ (described by Johnny Marr as ‘one of the greatest records ever’) and others, orchestrated with string section.
These, praised as masterpieces by many, highlight a career that has been hailed by musicians and critics alike, with Led Zeppelin naming 'Hats off to Roy Harper' for him and Pink Floyd inviting him to perform lead vocals on 'Have a Cigar'. His fans read like a who's who of popular music from the last 40 years and include Kate Bush and Pete Townshend, as well as a new generation of musicians ranging from Joanna Newsom to Fleet Foxes and Jim O'Rourke. In January 2013 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
