Keith James sings the songs of Nick Drake

Tonight I went to see Keith James with Rowena. Keith was brilliant, with excellent guitar playing style, and a perfect singing voice for the material. The bassist, Rick Foot(?), was fantastic too, getting some wonderful harmonics and sounds from the bass. It was an intimate, friendly little gig in the Ritzy, in one of the screens oddly. Keith talked extensively about Nick Drake and his experience of the phenomenon that's arisen since his death. It was a lovely evening and perfect for getting over the hangover.
