biography
  • One of Britain's most unique songwriters, Roy Harper is an icon of modern British folk rock. Born in Manchester in 1941, Harper first appeared on the London folk circuit with his debut album 'Sophisticated Beggar' in 1966. Quickly signed up to Columbia, 'Come Out Fighting Genghis Khan' (1967) and 'Folkjokeopus' (1969) put Harper on the underground map and brought him to the attention of Pink Floyd manager Peter Jenner, who signed Harper to Harvest in 1970. Following the release of Harper's critically acclaimed 'Stormcock' in 1971, Led Zeppelin paid tribute to the man with the track 'Hats Off To Harper' on their third album. In 1975 formed the shortlived Trigger with guitarist Chris Spedding and Bill Bruford of Yes, but Harper went solo again for 1977's star-studded 'Bullinamingvase'. The 80s were spent hopping between major labels and his own Science Friction imprint, but Harper still records new material and performs regularly with his son Nick.
