Notes on Roy Harper at The Leadmill almost 30 years ago.
December 1984 or early 1985
In The Leadmill with Roy Harper
at the height of the miner’s strike
he advocates pushing a tabasco bottle up Thatcher’s arse
warns about the pointy blueheads he’s seen outside
has a fresh joint between every other song
delivered by an assistant
him perched on a stool
“give us some” comes a voice from the darkness
“you’re the only one without any” comes his response
almost the entire audience is stoned
