Rob & Darren - HARPER - are two brothers who are building a reputation in the world of show business.

The lads have always been involved in entertainment.  They virtually grew up in theatres and were fed comedy and music from a very tender age (their father is Bobby Ball out of Cannon & Ball fame) so it was inevitable that the lads would soon be treading the boards.

After finishing Drama School the boys went their separate ways, never thinking of performing together.  Robert soon turned his hand to becoming a comedian / singer and worked all over the UK in holiday camps and theatres.  Darren fell in love with music and soon had his own band that went on to tour to Israel, Germany, Los Angeles as well as the UK.

The lads joined forces for one night at a charity event at The Bistro French in Preston, UK, in 2000. Such was the response of the audience and the great time the brothers had performing with each other, they decided to get together permanently as a double act and, what better name could they have decided on but their own surname (HARPER).

Since that day HARPER have gone from strength to strength.  After appearing at the Showcall Showcase, the Stage newspaper wrote that the lads were 'One of the highlights of the evening'.  The boys were next asked to perform at the legendary North Pier Theatre in Blackpool with Joe Longthorne.  With their reputation growing and growing they toured with Joe Longthorne and supported one of Britain's funny men, Freddie Starr.  They also appeared on tour with their friend Johnny Casson.

Being brothers, Harper show a natural bond together on stage that is irresistible.  With their powerful voices and their roguish but lovable sense of humour you can't help but to be bowled over by these two entertainers.  As soon as they hit the stage you'll be spellbound by the amount of energy they put into their show.  There aren't that many double acts around who deliver such a knock out show as these two boys.
