We are thrilled to be able to welcome Keith James back to Pocklington Arts Centre to perform the timeless songs of Nick Drake.
Nick Drake, one of the most revered and loved of all this country’s acoustic singer-songwriters, recorded three cherished albums between 1969 and 1972 but was almost entirely unknown in his day.
After his tragic death in 1974, his music almost disappeared into obscurity but now, thanks to a massive resurgence of interest and a worldwide re-evaluation of his unique music, Nick Drake has become a national treasure.
It has been two decades since singer/guitarist Keith James became the first artist ever to bring these intriguing songs to venues across the UK, and he remains to this day the foremost artist devoted to performing Nick’s music in its pure live acoustic form.
Keith has now performed over 1,000 highly acclaimed concerts across the UK, Ireland, Holland, France, Italy and Spain. His tours have included all of Nick’s schools and colleges and even Glastonbury Festival - don’t miss this chance to see him perform in Pocklington!
Keith will be joined by flautist Richie Cotterill.
‘Some of the most atmospheric and emotive music you will ever hear’ The Independent
‘A fresh and powerful approach to these wonderful songs’ Patrick Humphries – Nick Drake biographer
