Biography

Roy Harper was born on June 12, 1941 in Rusholme, Manchester, England, UK. He is an actor, known for Made (1972), The Handmaid's Tale (2017) and David Gilmour: Blue Light (1984).

Sang lead vocals on the Pink Floyd track "Have A Cigar" from the 1975 album "Wish You Were Here". Sining the song, Roy 'plays the part' of a shady music industry mogul, and makes reference to the band with the line, "By the way, which one is Pink?".

The bluesy Led Zeppelin song "Hats Off (To Roy Harper)" is named after him. Appears on the acoustic side of Led Zeppelin III.

Kate (Kate Bush) is a fantastic musician and very professional as well. Working with Kate is a very smooth operation because she always knows what she wants to do, surprising you too, which is what good musicians always do. She is a perfectionist with her art, but isn't like that with all aspects of her life. She is a wonderful person and it would be impossible to speak highly enough of her. She is the kindest woman I've ever met and if she's a friend of yours, she is for life. I would go round there and we used to talk all night and exchange ideas. On a social level she is very graceful and has given me some beautiful presents including a wonderful kaleidoscope one year which is an absolute treasure. Her songs are brilliant, simple deepnesses and a fantastic degree of musicianship goes into them. There is nobody quite like her. I think she should eventually be honoured by her country because she is an outstanding contributor to the cultural life of her generation.
