Nick Harper

Gig at the Hug & Pint in Glasgow on 9 December 2017. Lies Lies Lies tour with the Wilderness Kids. The guitar is seafoam green and there was an exchange with an audience member who shouted out that it looked like a toilet seat. Nick's response was something like 'Where do you live then? With the Jetsons?'

'Then I walked into Ivor Mairants off Oxford Street, picked up a Lowden 0-23, played one single chord - C, I think it was - and got hit by this incredible sense of deja vu. It was open and full and big and beefy, absolutely everything I wanted. It seemed about ten times as good as everything else I had played, and about half the price.

'So I thought, hmmm, I'll think about this. I wandered up to Tottenham Court Road in a complete daze. I felt nauseous, I felt sick, I nearly got hit by a car. It was the guitar! I knew that guitar was for me! I rushed back, put a deposit on it, and ever since I've had it, fantastic things have been happening with my playing and music in geeral. It was a very bizarre experience. I'm not superstitious, I'm not into astrology or any of that - but I know damn well some other force was at work. Weird, weird, shit.'
