Nick Harper

Live reviews

• Nick Harper

  Nick Harper is a phenomenon like no other. A Nick Harper gig is a bit like doing something new, every time. Aside from a virtuoso performance with genius guitar and some of the best songs ever written in the last 30 years you don't really know what to expect... This time it was an incredible piece of social folk/ pop history, the innovation that was the flat-top guitar, the invention of DADGAD and the influence of an amazing set of players who came together at 48 Fordwych Road.

  If it were possible to package Nick Harper up and bring him out for the odd irreverent moment I think it's something that could really catch on...

• I saw him years ago playing at the half moon putney with his dad Roy. He did a solo set before too in support and he is so original and a great accoustic guitarist.An artist ive never forgotten like jeff beck, prince, bob dylan. Sadly Roy Buchanan passed away before I had a chance to see him but these musicians are all brilliant in their styles.A not so known singer and writer of great lyrics based on old folk stories is Naomi Bedford..she has some brilliant albums winning folk awards and is on the radio and been at cambridge folk festival.

• A great balance of paying tribute to the artists who inspired and influenced him in his very early years, and giving us as always a fully committed playing and vocal performance . His skill and craft as a singer songwriter has never been in doubt. His humour shone through and warmed everyone to him . A great evening , I’m already planning my next Harper experience, working out when and where I can see him next .
