“Evening Chorus create that sound that is both traditional & fresh — think Mumford & Sons meets Swell Season. You get harmonies alongside so many layers of strings that you feel immersed in the experience of this young folk quartet… it makes you wonder what they will do once they hit their stride”

Nick Drake (1948 – 1974) was an English singer-songwriter and musician best known for his acoustic, autumnal songs. Although he failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime, Drake’s work has grown steadily in stature, and has now reached such proportions that he will always be seen as a landmark, a beauty, a thread of creativity that will forever span the rapids of modern music.

Nick recorded only three albums in his short career and has since been seen as somewhat of a mystery. At the time he was largely unnoticed, considered to be too fragile and painful to engage the wilder audiences of the early 70s. Now, more than 30 years on, Nick Drake has become the most revered of all English singer/songwriters.

On March 21st, we celebrate the work of Nick Drake at the Cardiff Arts Institute, with a evening of songs performed by  Keith James and Rick Foot. Over the past seven years or so, Keith and Rick have gained substantial acclaim for bringing the fragile and beautiful music of Nick Drake into a live context.Giving re-birth and a human presence to one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the last 50 years.

Sunday 21st March 2010

Cardiff Arts Institute, 29 Park Place, Cardiff – 8:00PM

THE SONGS OF NICK DRAKE. performed by Keith James and Rick Foot - 2 live sets – will also include material by John Martyn and Davy Graham
