SUMMARY:Nick Harper
DESCRIPTION:The Real Music Club Presents Nick Harper\, showcasing his newly
 -released album 'Earth Day Blue'\n\nTickets:  www.wegottickets.com/event/
 623513\n\nBar from 5:00pm. Door time: 7:30pm\, Start time: 8:00pm\n\nRecor
 ded in Abbey Road Studio 2 on Earth Day 2024\, ‘Earth Day Blue’ is the
  14th studio album release from Nick Harper\, the wildly talented and much
  loved singer-songwriter. With John Leckie in the producer’s chair (Ston
 e Roses\, Radiohead\, Muse etc.) and Tchad Blake mixing (Tom Waits\, Crowd
 ed House\, Peter Gabriel etc.)\, the album is a flash mob of high calibre 
 talent assembled for a few hours’ collaboration in a very special space.
 \n\nBut this was not the first time Nick and John had been in session toge
 ther in Studio 2. It was way back in 1973\, in the very same room\, that N
 ick was given his ‘big break’ in the world of music. The duo first ‘
 worked’ together when Nick\, aged 8\, recorded his first ever songs with
  John whilst Nick’s father Roy was recording his own seminal album 'Life
 mask' with Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. So the circle has been squared off 
 and the journey is complete!\n\n'Earth Day Blue' is peppered with acoustic
  ear-worms written with a Studio 2 Beatlesque approach of short\, immediat
 e songs\, but with the added brio of a group of studio attendees sometimes
  driven to sing along to Nick’s guitar and voice\, adding a party atmosp
 here to the day. Along the way\, Nick displays all his (un)usual talents\,
  from his trademark virtuoso string-bending guitar playing and references 
 to the time of his previous session with John on the paean to Joni Mitchel
 l 'Joni If Only ..' to his penchant for prose poems when describing the sc
 ene at Abbey Road in the 70s in 'The Lady In The Fur Coat’.\n\nThe recor
 ding captures what John says is the magic of a live performance in a contr
 olled recording environment\, though\, in a space such as this\, dripping 
 with portent and legacy (on a personal level for the two as well as to a w
 orldwide community of Abbey Road fanatics) there is a tangible\, added dep
 th of poignancy and emotion underlying the album. For Nick Harper fans and
  for new fans alike\, it is all here in unadorned beauty\, a recording tha
 t witnesses a solo artist without dilution or compromise\, nor studio tric
 kery or production prop\, having a great day performing in one of the most
  hallowed rooms on the planet.\n\nNick will be performing two sets\, 8 to 
 9pm\, then 9.15 to 10.30. Knowing Nick\, there'll be a few encores after t
 hat. We welcome him to Lewes for the very first time.\n\nSupport - Sairie\
 , a Sussex acoustic three-piece.\n\n[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watc
