The early 1970s were the Golden Age of the singer-songwriter – and Nick Drake and John Martyn were unquestionably two of the outstanding names of the period. This concert is not only a devotional representation but a ‘hands on’ performance of emotional connection. Switching effortlesly between five differently tuned guitars, Keith James presents an immaculately crafted performance of timeless, cherished music and words that shed all the tears of time within their fragile lines.
‘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
“An absolute must” Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio
