Nick Harper: Phantastes
Fri 3 Jun • 8pm • Full £17.50 • Music
RMT Music Live present as part of Bath Fringe Festival
Phantastes inhabits an ethereal realm and explores the parallels of the seminal C19th fantasy novel of the same name by George MacDonald and the beginnings of Nick’s own love story from 1982.
The album was recorded, and is performed live on solo electric guitar, simultaneously triggering percussive electronic soundscapes. This is the dream-like backdrop to a coming-of-age story set on the edge of an ancient magical forest and a year-long journey that culminates in a kiss.
Divorced from 2020 in many ways, the album and the live show have been enthusiastically supported by fans seeking a temporary refuge from the here and now.
“Harper has so much musicianship in him it just leaks out all over the place.” The Times

“Dylan for the iPod generation… Betjemen with a guitar.” Guitarist
