Nick Harper at Buckleys in Oslo the 16th of November

[zeuhl]

Unlimited Management presenterer stolt Nick Harper på Buckleys i Oslo. Nick er en fantastisk akustisk artist som har vokst opp med Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin og The Who rundt seg, av den enkle grunn at Nick's far heter Roy Harper.

 

Dette blir en forrykende musikalsk aften, så ikke gå glipp av dette!!!

 

 

Nick was born in London and raised in Wiltshire. Having played the guitar from the age of 10 and surrounded by the likes of Keith Moon, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and Dave Gilmour as he grew up, it was no surprise when Nick made his recording debut on his father's Whatever Happened to Jugula? in 1985.

 

Nick's talent and energy entranced Roy's fans and it was inevitable that he would begin touring and recording in his own right. The 1994 EP Light at the End of the Kennel was swiftly followed by his powerful 1995 debut long player Seed prompting The Independent to describe him as "hugely talented".

 

After 6 studio albums, a double live CD and 2 EPs (including Instrumental, a stunning display of his guitar talents), Nick's work is still as fresh and vital as that of his first solo release in 1994. The recently released sixth studio album, Miracles For Beginners, is a return to a more stripped-down acoustic based style, from the folk tale of the meeting of King Henry 8th and Francis 1st in 1520 in The Field Of The Cloth Of Gold. to a beautiful latin tinged paean to the the Bolivian President Evo Morales in Evo. But, as with his highly personal 2004 "family album" Blood Songs, he still has time to sing about the most important things in his world - family, friends, love, life.

 

Between solo albums, Nick tours with a vengeance. In the first 8 months of 2005 alone, he'd traversed the UK from Devon to the most northerly point in Scotland, along with 2 dates in Holland and acclaimed sets at Glastonbury, Beautiful Days (with his band Sleeper Cell), Oysterband's Big Session and other festivals including 2 tsunami benefit gigs in Thailand.

 

The 'Back From The Naughty Step Tour' saw Nick Touring the UK through November 2007.
