THE Songs of Nick Drake, a haunting and uniquely beautiful concert by Keith James will come to the Pizza Tipi, Cambrian Quay, Cardigan, this Friday, August 16, 8pm.
Nick Drake is a revered singer/songwriters, who recorded three albums between 1969 and 1972, but was almost entirely unknown in his day.
After his tragic death in 1974, aged 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.
A number of years have now passed since singer/guitarist Keith James paralysed the whole country with his stunningly beautiful series of concerts entitled The Songs of Nick Drake.
At the beginning of the project in 2001 he was the first artist ever to bring this immaculate and intriguingly fragile music to theatres across the UK in its pure concert form.
The end result was eight years of highly acclaimed tours amounting to more than 1,000 concert dates in venues across the British Isles, Europe and all of Nick’s schools and colleges.
