Nick Drake is one of the most revered and loved of all this country’s acoustic
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 unique music, Nick Drake has become a national treasure.

Three decades have now passed since Singer/Guitarist Keith James first
astonished the whole country with his stunningly beautiful series of concerts. He
was the first artist ever to bring these intriguing songs to theatres and arts venues
across the UK, and remains to this day, the foremost artist devoted to performing
Nick’s music in its pure live acoustic form. Over the past 30 years, Keith has
performed over 1200 highly acclaimed concerts in venues across the UK, Ireland,
Holland, France, Italy, and Spain including all of Nick’s schools and colleges
even Glastonbury Festival. Keith will be joined by flautist Richie Cotterill.
