Nick Drake is one of the most mysterious and enigmatic characters to become part of the UK’s ‘arts scene’ during the 1970s and 80s. As a Cambridge literature student, Nick began writing and performing his fashionable poetry in, what was then, a blossoming arts songwriting scene amongst the London-Oxford-Cambridge scene. Nick was quickly noticed by Island Records and within less than a year had recorded ‘Five Leaves Left’ his first brilliant album, still considered a unique masterpiece to this day – so much so, that it was almost impossible to follow – causing his development in the music scene to entirely flounder until being rediscovered and celebrated by a new audience with a fresh listening approach in the early 2000s.

Nick Drake has become the UK’s most loved contemporary poet and songwriter.
