An evening of incredible music from the singer, songwriter, guitarist, poet and storyteller!

“Harper has so much musicianship in him that it just leaks out all over the place.”

— The Times

“If anything Nick Harper is the closest thing we've got to Lewis Carroll. His songs are the musical equivalent of Carroll's Looking Glass, peer through and you find a fantastical, magical world. Not always sugar sweet but forever different.”

— Maverick


NICK HARPER​ is one the UK’s best kept musical secrets. Those who have witnessed the spellbinding, one-man show will tell you this. A childhood growing up surrounded by the musical prowess of some of the 60’s most revered songwriters & musicians, not to mention being son of Roy Harper, along with 20 years of crafting songs & touring the land has spawned a truly one-off, original guitarist & songwriter who stands alone as a UK great, to be cherished & revered.

For over two decades, he has been dazzling audiences, reviewers & fellow artists alike with his heady mix of virtuosity, boyish charm, showmanship & sheer bravado. An imagination bursting with ideas has seen Nick release 11 solo albums to critical acclaim, earning a Number 1 spot in the charts with the seminal hit ‘Blue Sky Thinking’.

2022 ALBUM TOUR:

2022 sees Nick Harper jettison his normally aspirated time machine which clocks in at just 60 minutes
per hour, for a model that can appear anywhere at any time in the many portals of Harperspace.

In a new, uniquely styled, acoustically driven album (title to be announced), Nick explores the past,
present and future in his own singular way. The new project follows up recent successful sojourns back
in time to explore swinging 60s London (58 Fordwych Rd); 19th century Fantasy literature meets 1980s
West Country romance (Phantastes) and an epic poem lost in time (A Wiltshire Tale).


Will this be the one album to unite them all? Only time will tell...

Special guests IVAN CAMPO:

English indie folk trio Ivan Campo met in the city of Preston whilst studying contemporary music at the University of Central Lancashire.

New track 'The Girl Who Dreamed', with its light and uplifting aesthetic that combines wistful guitar hooks and sweeping vocals, tells the tale of a whirlwind romance between two people brought together by passionate love which ends as quickly as it begins. Recorded in three separate locations during quarantine and mastered at Queens Ark Audio, it's the first in a string of songs planned for release leading up to their tenth album.

Their last album Season of the King secured the band a 4th live session on BBC 6 Music, as well as a special appearance on prime time Spanish TV programme, Late Motiv, performing The Bloodhound and the Fox.
