Keith James

A haunting and immaculately crafted concert
The Songs of Nick Drake
Nick Drake is the most revered and loved of all this country?s Singer-
Songwriters. He has given us timeless songs that shed all the tears of life
within their fragile yet perfect lines. He recorded three cherished Albums
between 1969 and 1972 but was almost entirely unknown in his day. After
his tragic death in 1974 aged only 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.
Several meticulously compiled Biographies look at every aspect of Nick?s life
and music, throwing light on many shadowy corners of mystery and

supposition.

Two decades have now passed since Singer/Guitarist Keith James first
paralysed the whole Country with his stunningly beautiful series of concerts.
He was the first artist ever to bring this intriguingly fragile music to Theatres
and Arts Venues across the UK in its pure live concert form. The result was
six years of highly acclaimed tours amounting to over 1000 concerts in
venues across the UK, Ireland, Holland, France, Italy and Spain including all of

Nick?s Schools and Colleges - even Glastonbury Festival.

?Musicians brave enough to make the music they really believe in. Keith James is one of these?
