THE SONGS OF NICK DRAKE (Together with a Bio-documentary of Nick's Life and Music)
“an absolute must” MARK RADCLIFFE – BBC RADIO 2
“Keith’s Concert is a loving re-appraisal of Nick Drake’s timeless music” Trevor Dann – Nick Drake biographer.
The recognition and popularity of Nick Drake is such that he will always be seen as a landmark, a beauty, a thread of creativity that will forever span the rapids of modern music.
He only recorded 3 albums in his short career and has been considered as somewhat of a mystery. At the time he was largely unnoticed, considered to be too fragile and painfull to engage the wilder audinces of the early 70's.
Now more than 30 years on Nick Drake has become one of the most highly revered English Singer/Songwriters
Around 10 years ago, Keith James, a Singer/Songwriter and acoustic music producer, began to perform Nick's songs Live in Concert to such an effect that he has now played around 500 dates throughout many UK tours and has recorded many of Nick's songs. Now Keith returns to play more UK concerts of this unique and haunting music.
WHY? – “because this music is exceptional - timeless, because by some odd twist of fate, I grew up playing, singing and writing in such a similar style that I have had little to wrestle with – because of this I feel able to engage audiences into the prose – it will always remain an incredible honour to play Nick’s music”.
