KEITH James will be performing the songs of Nick Drake at Under the Edge Arts on Saturday, February 20.

Nick Drake recorded three albums between 1969 and 1972, but died tragically in 1974 aged just 26. In recent years there has been a massive resurgence of interest, on a worldwide scale, in the life and works of Nick Drake; reevaluating his life and his genius.

Along with Nick Drake songs, this new concert will include a transcription of a poem by William Blake (Nick's greatest influence) and a song by Sixto Rodriguez--a singer from the same era but a parallel universe, yet with unexpected similarities.

Keith James has a towering reputation for performing with and an undying love of the pure song in an exact, intimate and sensitive way, making this a performance not to be missed!

The concert starts at 8pm in the Chipping Hall, Wotton-Under-Edge, GL12 7AD. Tickets cost £12/10, and can be booked online at wwww.utea.org.uk or by calling call UTEA on 07791 323 869. Tickets can also be purchased at the door, subject to availability, but advanced booking is strongly recommended.
