The
Songs of Nick Drake
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.
Several meticulously compiled Biographies
look at every aspect of Nick’s life and music, throwing light on many shadowy
corners of mystery and supposition.
Two decades have
now passed since Singer/Guitarist Keith James first paralysed the whole
Country with his stunningly beautiful series of concerts. He was the first
artist ever to bring this intriguingly fragile music to Theatres and Arts
Venues across the UK in its pure live concert 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.
‘Musicians brave
enough to make the music they really believe in. Keith James is one of these’ Bob Harris
‘Some of the most atmospheric and emotive music you will ever hear’ The Independent
‘A
fresh and powerful approach to these wonderful songs’ Patrick
Humphries – Nick Drake biographer
“An absolute must” Mark Radcliffe – BBC Radio
