It’s now a quarter-century since Nick Drake’s untimely death at 26, which sadly preceded his recognition as one of the 20th century’s most profoundly influential singer-songwriters. His fragile, acoustic, autumnal music is still cited as an inspiration today by the likes of Radiohead, Paul Weller and Coldplay, among countless others, and has touched the hearts of millions through Drake’s own three recordings. This very special tribute concert, curated by his original producer Joe Boyd, features the late Robert Kirby’s orchestrations from those same LPs, which are also recalled by the presence of Drake’s chosen bassist, Danny Thompson, who’ll be anchoring the house band. Tonight’s other vocal guests include Vashti Bunyan, Green Gartside, Teddy Thompson, Robyn Hitchcock, Stuart Murdoch, Lisa Hannigan and Krystle Warren who will celebrate Drake’s enduring legacy via modern reinterpretations of his timeless songs.
