On Sunday 1st March 2026, Bomba hosts a special evening dedicated to the music of Nick Drake - one of Britain’s most influential and quietly powerful songwriters.
Nick Drake’s work, recorded between 1969 and 1972, has become timeless. His songs are defined by their emotional restraint, intricate guitar work, and lyrical depth, influencing generations of artists across folk, rock, and beyond. Though his life was short, his catalogue remains one of the most respected bodies of work in British music.
Keith James is widely regarded as the foremost interpreter of Nick Drake’s music. A long-standing friend of the Drake estate, Keith has spent decades performing these songs with exceptional care, accuracy, and understanding, earning praise from Nick Drake’s sister Gabrielle Drake and audiences across the UK and Europe. His performances go beyond tribute, offering insight into the songs, the arrangements, and the man behind them.
Joined by flutist, Richie Cotterill, this performance will focus on faithful, intimate renditions of Nick Drake’s work, capturing the subtlety, dynamics, and emotional weight of the original recordings. Expect an evening of attentive listening rather than spectacle - music presented with respect, precision, and warmth.
This is a rare opportunity to experience these songs in the right setting, performed by musicians who truly understand their significance.
