'Blues for a Green Earth' - Colin Harper, Claire Kinsella, Martin Hayes (2023)
The full performance of my tune 'Blues for a Green Earth', as excerpted in the documentary 'Legends of Harper' (BBC NI, 2/24), produced, directed and edited by the wonderful trio of Barry Devlin, Cormac O'Kane and Richard Brown. This was filmed in the cabaret lounge at Ballyhackamore Working Men's Club in August 2023 - the room used for the fabulous Scott's Jazz Club on Fridays. Heartfelt thanks to Martin and Claire for making the time and travelling to be a part of it.

Colin Harper - Indecision/Revisionism (demo)
มุมมอง 1776 หลายเดือนก่อน
I'm fascinated with punk history, not least Ulster punk history. A lot of those involved talk about 'revisionism' - but it seems to me that nobody really knows what this is bar somebody else disagreeing with whatever their memory or perception of things might be. This song is nothing more than a sideways glance at the debate, a gentle bit of satire and nostalgic affection. I'm on nobody's 'side...

มุมมอง 747 หลายเดือนก่อน
I'm fascinated with old punks - and have several good pals among them - and the whole soap opera about Ulster/Belfast punk is especially fun. It is a many-layered thing populated by curious characters - a bit like 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' - in which colourful individuals have various strong/contrary views about who did what when, who profited, who dropped the ball, who was in charge, ...

    This is a band of wizards and magicians; gotta' be old enough to hear what they're giving. What's the 2nd song called? Also, was this the first band to use Orange amps?

    The discovery of the century: I stumbled upon Gryphon as a teen curious about the artwork on Red Queen to Gryphon Three. The various instruments the lads played were quite diverse and mind blowing. Once I heard the album, it was lights out for me. What a treasure of a band and so talented!!

    Richard Thompson's guitar work, Simon Nicol's bass weaving bottom end and Sandy Denny's soaring voice stand out in this performance. "I'll Keep It With Mine" and "Percy's Song" take me back to that great synthesis of Rock and Folk in the late '60, '70's. Beautiful music. "Turn, Turn, Again. Turn, Turn, to the rain and the wind." We're either all still at it, or we've joined with the ancients.

    I saw the Incredible String Band, when they were just a duo, at the jazz club at the University of Sussex around 1967/68. The next time I saw them was at the The Dome in Brighton. The opening act was Pentangle whom I had not heard of before. They were so amazing that I went to see them every single time they came to town. I bought all their albums as soon as they came out and it was if I was watching their unique sound evolve. They gave me such joy in my student days and as I started a family. Now 56 years later in 2024, they still bring the same great joy with their poignant combination of traditional folk songs and supreme musicianship. Thank you all for everything you have created for us to enjoy.

    I lucked into a year in England, 1964-65. When Campbell was performing in a room-over-a pub one night, his wife happened to walk in. He greeted her jovially and then said in his heavy Scots brogue, “Now girls, I want ya ta know that just because Ah’m married, doesn’t mean Ah’m no’ AVAILABLE!” (Amused grin from his wife as we all guffaw.) “Ah mean, fer 6 or 7 pounds any a you chicks can HAVE me!” (Wife continues grinning as Alex pauses and we keep laughing.) “Only fer a short TIME, of course!!”
