Nick Drake at The Dome

[NMH]

A tribute concert for Nick Drake coming up - I wonder if many others here are going?

Brighton Dome - Way To Blue - The Songs of Nick Drake Brighton Tickets

Blimey.
Got me worried there..........
Thought I was stuck in a time warp and he was still alive!

Sounds like a good night though. Worth going just for Lisa Hannigan

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

I shall be there. I think that Martha Wainwright will also be on the bill.

Nope - she's cancelled I'm afraid.
But....while on the subject, what has she done that you recommend?

The 'compere' for this show, incidentally, will be Joe Boyd.
He who produced the very first single by Pink Floyd, introduced The U.F.O. Club in London after assisting with The Newport Jazz and Blues Festivals (i.e. the one when Dylan got pilloried for playing electric).
His book 'White Bicycles' isn't bad, but Drake fans would get much more out of the biography by Patrick Humphries.

I thought you meant this fella

I'll be there (first gig since Gang of Four-induced tinnitus, from last year's Great Escape).

Re the Humphries biog: what a depressing read that was, such a sad story, packed away my Nick Drake cds after reading it and didn't listen to him again for a number of years
