Son of the legendary UK singer-songwriter Roy Harper,
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".
To call Nick a superlative singer/songwriter could
put his highly lauded guitar talent in the shade, and to call him a guitarist's
guitarist might slight his distinctive, soulful voice and passionate songs. Not
forgetting the wild ride that is one of his live shows - from personal
introspection to biting political satire via a charmingly caustic wit that
would make Groucho Marx proud.
