The Songs of Nick Drake
A haunting and immaculately crafted concert
Nick Drake is the most revered and loved of all this country’s Singer/Songwriters. He has given us timeless songs that shed all the tears of life within their fragile yet perfect lines. He recorded three cherished Albums between 1969 and 1972 but was almost entirely unknown in his day. After his tragic death in 1974 aged only 26 his music almost disappeared into obscurity. Now, thanks to a massive resurgence of interest and a worldwide re-evaluation of his genius. Nick Drake has become a national treasure.
Two decades have now passed since Singer/Guitarist Keith James paralysed the whole Country with this stunningly beautiful concert. In 2001 he was the first artist ever to bring this intriguingly fragile music to Theatres across the UK in its live form. The result was six years of highly acclaimed tours amounting to over 1000 concerts in venues across the UK, Ireland, Holland, France, Italy and Spain including all of Nick’s Schools and Colleges - even Glastonbury Festival.
