Nick Drake Bography
Terry and I had mixed views on Nick Drake's talents. Terry was an enthusiast, and having got the vinyl set is probably a wealthy man (I bear no malice). I found Nick rather dull. I'm prepared to concede I might have been mistaken so much so that I'm likely to invest in a new compilation out later this month (September 2004) and give him another go. I do recognise, with hindsight, that I was lucky to have been one of the few to witness a live performance - at the Royal Festival Hall, London. Why am I mentioning this I hear you think? I have just finished reading Patrick Humphries biography of Nick Drake which I would commend to you. Even if, like me, you were not a Nick Drake fan this book is a good and fascinating record of the folk/folk rock/Island records world of the late 60s and early 70s
