Sinon, Roy Harper fête ses 50 ans de carrière via une mini-tournée anglaise :

Roy Harper - On Tour - March 2019 - 'Celebrating 50 years of monumental classics including McGoohan's Blues'

Tickets on sale 10am Friday 13th July from: http://gigst.rs/RHarper

"Partly because many of the things I wrote about in McGoohan’s Blues are still very relevant 50 years later, and partly because my third record was a watershed moment in my recording life, it’s been long in my mind that I should dust it off and bring it on tour again.

I’ll be joined by Bill Shanley and an ensemble of musicians which might have to be slightly more versatile in terms of instrumentation this time, although I have to say that the players we brought out last time provided me with the best accompaniment I’ve ever had in my life. I was overjoyed with what we produced, so we’ll just have to see whether we can equal that.”
