I'm very grateful to the three authors who will be presenting an event at Westminster Reference Library, discussing the life of singer songwriter and guitarist Nick Drake, who despite his short life and recording career has influenced hundreds of subsequent musicians. The event will also feature a look at the burgeoning folk scene in the late 1960s and early 1970s when Drake was active.
This FREE event will take place on Friday 21 March from 6-7pm.
Half the tickets have already been reserved at time of writing.
