ROY HARPER (UK)

De Barras :: Thursday 15th September :: 8.30pm :: SOLD OUT

Part of the wave of troubadours who came of age in the folk clubs of London in the mid-1960s, Roy Harper is regarded as one of the icons of his generation. Albums such as Stormcock are praised as masterpieces and throughout his career he 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.

The Clonakilty International Guitar Festival is honoured that Roy will perform at this year’s festival marking our 7th year anniversary!

After this show Roy’s only other scheduled performance will be a sold out show in London’s Royal festival Hall in November to mark his own 70th birthday!
