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
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! |

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...
In The Magpie Index Roy Harper delivers a series of monologues to camera. Each section addresses a different aspect of his work, his philosophy and history, covering the counter culture; religion and superstition; ornithology; nature and the environment; political engagement and the end of politics as well as Harper’s experiences in the music world and the importance of changing light bulbs. |

The Magpie Index is a new single-screen high-definition video art-work by artist Richard Grayson, focusing on legendary singer-songwriter Roy Harper.
Roy Harper is an English rock/folk singer-songwriter/guitarist who has been a professional musician since the mid-1960s. Harper has admitted being influenced by many forms of music, ranging from Miles Davis to Indian Raga to Stravinsky. His earliest musical influences were American blues musicians Lead Belly, Josh White and Big Bill Broonzy, and folk musician Woody Guthrie. His career and influence have been respected by many musicians including Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Pete Townsend of The Who, Kate Bush, Pink Floyd, and more recently Californian harpist Joanna Newsom. Harper is also known for his guest lead vocals on Pink Floyd’s song “Have a Cigar.” Among Harry’s previous work with Roy Harper is his sleeve design for the reissue of The BBC Tapes, sessions for the BBC recorded between 1969 and 1978. The talk will take place on Friday 6th November at Dublin’s Offset three-day creative gathering. Find out more at http://pentagram.com/en/new/harry-pearce/ |
