Nick Harper announces new tour and album ‘58 Fordwych Rd.’, release: September 26th 2025.

Those who have witnessed Nick Harper’s spellbinding, one-man shows will tell you his his 20 years plus of crafting songs & touring the land after a childhood growing up surrounded by the musical prowess of some of the 60’s most revered songwriters & musicians, not to mention being son of Roy Harper, has spawned a truly one-off, original guitarist & songwriter who stands an artist to be cherished & revered in his own right.

Following a prolific creative chapter that has seen three studio releases since 2020, Nick returns to the setting of his childhood living room in a small flat in Kilburn, London in the mid 1960s ’58 Fordwych Rd.’. The flat was an after hours hang-out for the legends who played at Les Cousins in Soho at the height of the acoustic explosion in swingin’ sixties London. People like Bert Jansch, Davy Graham, John Renbourn, Paul Simon, Marc Bolan, David Bowie, John Martyn, Sandy Denny & others dropped in, to drop out, jam & try new tunes. But, all along, there was someone else there… a toddler, part of the family, inhaling the music & absorbing the vibe; Roy’s young son, Nick Harper.

Nick invited these acoustic legends back into the room and toured this unique story to ecstatic receptions across the UK and Ireland, picking up a coveted Herald Angel Award for excellence in performance at The Edinburgh Fringe along the way. It was here that 58 Fordwych Rd. was recorded, capturing Nick at the height of performance prowess. The craftsmanship and care with which Nick handled the repertoire coupled with his unique viewpoint meant the shows transcended tribute, Nick applying his own new twists and deft performance swagger to the songs he heard directly from the greats when growing up.

In 2025 Nick finds himself alongside Roy once more, headlining Glastonbury Festival, at de Barras for the Clonakilty International Guitar Festival and providing lead guitar duties at a trilogy of farewell concert hall shows including The London Palladium. The narrative of 58 Fordwych Rd continues to reverberate and so the live album of the same name had to see a release.
