The Songs Of Nick Drake

Keith James and Richie Cotterill,  THE SONGS OF NICK DRAKE

River Man – Northern Sky – Fruit Tree – Pink Moon – Day is Done – Made to Love Magic & more

Voice and unusually tuned acoustic guitars

Together with Flutes played by Richie Cotterill

Nick Drake is the most unique, haunting and imaginative musician that truly touched our souls. This concert is not only a devotional representation but a ‘hands-on’ performance of emotional connection.

Natural, effortless musicians, Keith and Richie bring you this immaculately crafted concert, alternating between four finely tuned acoustic guitars and Flutes of different character and pitch to bring you an evening of these timeless, cherished songs; words that shed all the tears of time within their fragile lines. Richie plays his flutes to orchestrate the colours within these rich, harmonic landscapes, improvising with impressionist textures to enhance the magical highs and mysterious shadows within these deeply emotional songs.

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

‘Musicians brave enough to play the music they really believe in. Keith James is one of these’ Bob Harris OBE

‘Some of the most atmospheric and emotive music you will ever hear’ The Independent

‘A fresh and powerful approach to these wonderful songs’  Patrick Humphries – Nick Drake biographer

‘Devotion, integrity, experience. All spinning as one’ Guardian

“An absolute must” Mark Radcliffe

What people are saying...

A big Thank You to Poppy, the manager, and the rest of the team at ABBA Gold last night. She was super helpful with me and my friend, who is in a wheelchair, and made it a fantastic night that we both really enjoyed. We hope to be back again soon.

As someone who works in the live music industry, I can honestly say Komedia is one of the best mid-sized venues I have visited. It has a wonderful atmosphere, outstanding acoustics, and a team that clearly knows how to run a venue. The Great Escape is always a highlight of the music calendar, and Komedia was one of the standout venues for me this year. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Brighton, whether for live music, comedy, or other events. A truly excellent venue and one of Brighton’s cultural gems.

The team working with us on Saturday were brilliant – special thanks to Steve, our engineer, who was fantastic.

I love the venue and am grateful to you for having me back!

Staff were all very friendly and welcoming… the sound and lighting were brilliant and a great evening was had by all attending.

Great intimate live music venue. Not your usual gig beers, good selection of Lager, Cider and Ale.

I wanted to say a massive thank you for hosting my son and I in the Studio. I was so impressed by the kindness, efficiency, and professionalism of all the team at Komedia. Everything was perfect – the sound, the room, and all of the staff.

It was honestly the best concert experience I’ve had in a long time! Since being chronically ill, I’ve never felt completely welcome at venues. […] Komedia made me feel completely comfortable and confident in myself during the whole show! […] Although I traveled from London, I will most definitely be returning when I can, choosing it over London venues!

Lovely, intimate venue. Great sound system. Perfect for small concerts.

What a superb venue. I have been several times. Always a warm welcome and a safe space to enjoy the artists that are more “left field” than other more mainstream venues.

Cracking little venue, intimate, great acoustics, friendly staff, middle of town, nice beer selection, fair prices.What more could you want?

Great place to see bands. Not too big . Not too small. Excellent views plus TV screens in all areas. Disabled parking in the street behind. Good eateries locally after gig.
