Legends of Harper
2024 • E18 Feb 17, 2024 60m
Colin Harper’s books, music and record company work are more or less unrecognised for their significance to world music in his homeplace of Northern Ireland. Colin works mostly from a tiny box room in east Belfast, and his studio collective, The Legends of Tomorrow, have never played live. This quietly brilliant writer and musician has many fans in the music world, including Bono, Johnny Marr, John McLaughlin and Martin Hayes, as well as a host of other great local and international musicians.
