Roy Harper (Official Thread)

[Sweaty]

Sounds like it was a good night, he is 70 now so doesn't tour much at all which is a shame but to be expected.

Roy Harper will be doing a small tour this year and releasing a new album soon so keep a look out for this, in the mean time here is another classic to keep you happy.....

Few artists as unique as Roy Harper. My favourite is Stormcock. imo deserves 10/10

^^^ If memory serves me MP, I think it was a Whistle Test special or something. I remember watching it on TV in the 80's ... ?

Yeah I'm a huge fan of Roy Harper, and I really love his music, I think 'Bullinamingvase' and 'HQ' are two of my favouurite albums of the 1970's, and 'When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease' is as flawless a song as you could ever wish for, though I know Roy Harper is currently facing very serious (but so far totally unproven) charges, so unfortunately he's another of these people who under the current hideous system of 'naming and shaming before guilt is even attributed' he gets exposed long before any evidence is even brought before a court. But thanks for posting 'The Same Old Rock', not heard that in years, and what an epic song, 12 minutes that you just want to carry on for another 12.

Another bump, like it, I still love Roy and have received another of his albums for my birthday
