I thought he was amazing at Cropredy 2004 (my first one!) but there you go...!


I really enjoyed him too (although was very familiar with him by then so knew I would).  Horses for courses and all that...

My daughter and her friend saw Nick Harper quite a few years ago. They both loved him. They told me how he broke a guitar string and carried on playing while changing the string, which sounded remarkable. Anyway, a year or so later, I got the chance to see him. He broke a string and carried on playing while he changed it. I thought, 'hang on!' Anyway, it seems that was his party piece. Other than that, I enjoyed the gig, but I've never felt compelled to see him again, or buy any of his CDs.


It is indeed his party piece. He did it the only time I saw him play too. But hell, it's a great party piece.

Ian Prowse and “the fiddle of fire” coming to Birmingham on Saturday.  Can’t wait, of the singer songwriter, activist group, he must be the best around now. New album due in June and major tour in the autumn.

The only time I have ever heard Nick Harper was when he played Cropredy (2004, I think), and all I can recall is that I absolutely hated it!

I thought he was awful at Cropredy, the Zappa song didnt help, but I have enjoyed him every time since.


Glad to hear it wasn't just me, but maybe I will give him another chance if he comes near some time. Not that I think I have had to go far out of my way to ignore him in the past 20 years...
