- 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 Kate: Kate Bush Christmas Special 1979 (1979).
- 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.
