Nick Drake is the most unique, haunting and imaginative musician that truly touched our souls.

This concert is not only a devotional representation but a ‘hands-on’ performance of emotional connection.

Natural, effortless musicians, Keith and Richie bring you this immaculately crafted concert, alternating between four finely tuned acoustic guitars and Flutes of different character and pitch to bring you an evening of these timeless, cherished songs; words that shed all the tears of time within their fragile lines.

Richie plays his flutes to orchestrate the colours within these rich, harmonic landscapes; improvising with impressionist textures to enhance the magical highs and mysterious shadows within these deeply emotional songs.

Nick Drake is one of the most mysterious and enigmatic characters to become part of the UK’s ‘arts scene’ during the 1960s and 70s. As a Cambridge literature student, Nick began writing and performing his fashionable poetry in what was then, a blossoming arts-songwriting scene amongst the background of London-Oxford-Cambridge.

Nick was quickly noticed by producers at Island Records and within less than a year had recorded ‘Five Leaves Left’ his first brilliant album, still considered a unique masterpiece to this day – so much so, that it was almost impossible to follow – causing his development in the music scene to somewhat flounder until being almost entirely rediscovered and celebrated by a new audience with a fresh listening approach in the early 2000s.

Nick Drake has become the UK’s most loved contemporary poet and songwriter.
