Brian Harrison is an English folk musician. Initially with London-based band Ball Of Yarn, Harrison formed a folk duo with David A. Stewart (later of The Tourists, and, in 1981, Eurythmics). In the early 1970s Harrison and Stewart added further singer/guitarists Steve Sproxton and Kai Olsson and became Longdancer. In 1973, they became the first artists to sign to Elton John's Rocket label, touring with John before Olsson left to be replaced by Matt Irving (keyboards) and Charlie Smith (drums). <
