http://www.stormcock.net/files/image/pd/roy harper_cd_lo.jpgAs part of the Offset (http://www.iloveoffset.com/) creative conference’s ‘In Conversation’ events, Harry Pearce will be on stage in conversation with music legend Roy Harper (http://www.royharper.com/). Their talk “Flashes From the Archive of Oblivion” will cover their 28 years of friendship and collaboration on many of Harper’s records. This will include anecdotal stories behind the records and about the designs themselves.
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 (http://pentagram.com/en/new/2007/08/new-work-roy-harper-the-bbc-ta.php), sessions for the BBC recorded between 1969 and 1978.
The talk will take place on Friday 6th November at Dublin’s Offset (http://www.iloveoffset.com/speakers.php) three-day creative gathering.
