Roy is gigging again in September, supporting Joanna Newsom in some dates around the UK:

September 14th - Grand Canal Theatre - Dublin, Ireland - Tickets
September 16th - Colston Hall - Bristol, UK - Tickets
September 17th - Symphony Hall - Birmingham, UK - Tickets
September 18th - Palace Theatre - Manchester, UK - Tickets

Needless to say, if you missed seeing Roy either at his solo gig at the Jazz Cafe earlier this year, or on any of his support gigs around Europe with Joanna, I'd urge you to try and get to one of these shows.

New Roy Harper website

The Roy Harper websites at royharper.com and royharper.co.uk have been overhauled. Tracy Harper sent out an announcement about it yesterday. I don't anything further to add to this since I have been heavily involved in the effort - Paul.


Hello everyone, Hope you've all been keeping well. We know It's been very quiet for the last little while but we have a bit of news...

We've updated the website! Many many thanks to Paul Davison for all of his help and patience over the last... year or so. It's been a long time coming and I've relied on him heavily!!

At first glance you might not notice much difference as we've worked hard to maintain the original design. The main difference is that we now offer full album downloads in MP3 and FLAC formats. There are a few albums now available for download that have been unavailable for some time. There are a couple of albums that remain unavailable but those will be up in MP3 and FLAC formats in the next couple of weeks as soon as they've had a general remaster... 'In Between Every Line' and 'Harper 1970-1975':

http://www.royharper.co.uk/magento/downloads.html

The other thing is that we have integrated the old diary pages into a proper blog format:

http://www.royharper.co.uk/blog/

If you're into Facebook there is also an official Roy Harper page:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Roy-Harper/141407956471

We've tested everything as much as we can but there is likely to be something that we haven't run up against. Please let us know if you have any problems with ordering or in viewing anything. email on info [at] royharper [dot] co [dot] uk.

Something that you do need to know is that your login details for the old shop will no longer work. You'll have to create a new account if you would like to take advantage of some of the new shop features such as purchasing downloads, creating a wishlist, and viewing your order status. Some options won't be available until you login. Your newsletter subscription has not changed. You do not need to re-subscribe.

Finally, Gavin Moore's new album 'Tonnta' is now available in our 'Other Artists' category. Some of you will know Gavin from his opening sets at the 100 Club shows in London and at the 'Debarras' shows here in Clonakilty. There are a few sample tracks to listen to and links for more information here:

http://www.royharper.co.uk/magento/other-artists/tonnta.html

So, that's it for now for news. Again, please let us know if you have any problems with the website. We'll be keen to fix any issues ASAP!
