The music of Nick Drake has enchanted listeners for decades. Mal Darwen and Richard Gibbons present a tribute to the songwriting and guitar playing of Nick Drake.
An intimate show with two performers sharing the stage to directly engage with Drake's catalogue. Accomplished local musicians, Mal and Richard, come together for an acoustic 'in the round' session, presenting the subtle power and complex guitar work that defined his sound. Expect a selection of tracks spanning his three essential albums, showcasing the musical and songwriting strength behind songs like ‘Northern Sky’, ‘Cello Song’ and ‘Fruit Tree’.
The setup cuts straight to the core of the music, with a mixture of faithful renditions and interpretations that highlight the intricate playing and lyrical skill that makes Drake's work so enduring. An evening for music lovers, this is a chance to experience his artistry played live, stripped bare, and delivered with a deep appreciation for the folk tradition he worked within.
