Harper has played host to some brilliant artists, entertainment and amazing shows over the years.
THE WURZELS
Always a popular night, students flock to the bar to enjoy the music made for the country the one and only 'Wurzels'. With some of their well-known songs like 'Combine Harvester' and 'I am a Cider Drinker' there's always a song for you to sing your heart out to and have a dance with the band. The Wurzels are an annual treat at Harper and have never dissapointed. The band's laid back attitude to Harper allows them to interact with students; always willing to sign an autorgraph...they make a night in the SU bar memorable.
DJ's/ARtists
Radio One's Sarah Cox took to the booth in style and cracked out some amazing tunes. The night was packed with fun-filled moments for both DJ and students. With her official tweet of "I officially love Harper Adams, such a brilliant friendly bunch" we would be proud to let her take her place back in our DJ booth for another night of music and madness.
Other well-known DJs in past and present years have included Pendulum, Chase & Status, Greg James and Annie Nightingale whose passion for music got students raring to go and ready for a really great night. Similarly, Katy B hit off another night for us with her well known song 'Katy on a Mission'.
These are just some of the big events that Harper holds to entertain its students and keep up Harper's social 'rampage' throughout the year. There's more to come in next year so keep your eyes peeled for some of the best nights we have to offer you here on campus.
