Don't miss this chance to see the astonishing, multi-award winning, iconic British folk rock troubadour, Roy Harper, 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.
