Keith James
A haunting and immaculately crafted concert
The Songs of Nick Drake
Nick Drake is the most revered and loved of all this country’s acoustic Singer-Songwriters. He has given us timeless songs that shed all the tears of life within their fragile yet perfect lines. He recorded three cherished Albums between 1969 and 1972 but was almost entirely unknown in his day. After his tragic death in 1974 aged only 26 his music almost disappeared into obscurity. Now, thanks to a massive resurgence of interest and a worldwide re-evaluation of his unique music, Nick Drake has become a national treasure.
Several meticulously compiled Biographies look at every aspect of Nick’s life and music, throwing light on many shadowy corners of mystery and supposition.
Two decades have now passed since Singer/Guitarist Keith James first astonished the whole Country with his stunningly beautiful series of concerts. He was the first artist ever to bring these intriguing songs to Theatres and Arts Venues across the UK, and remains to this day, the foremost artist devoted to performing Nick’s music in its pure live acoustic form. Over the past 20 years, Keith has performed over 1000 highly acclaimed concerts in venues across the UK, Ireland, Holland, France, Italy and Spain including all of Nick’s Schools and Colleges - even Glastonbury Festival.

Echoes of Segovia
2025 Concert Series
We are already organising next years concerts, details will appear here over coming months as concerts are finalised.
Goodnestone Festival 2025
August 21st-25th
We are looking forward to welcoming Bob to Goodnestone for what will be our first classical guitar concert.
Like many guitarists of his generation, Bob Drury was hugely inspired by the music of the great Spanish guitarist Andrés Segovia. In his summer concert programme this year, Bob will play music arranged, performed or recorded by Segovia during the artist’s incredible eighty-year career. Bob’s programme will consist of music from John Dowland, Dominico Scarlatti, JS Bach, Fernando Sor, Francisco Tárrega, Federico Moreno Torroba, Isaac Albéniz, and Heitor Villa-Lobos including pieces from the seminal album ‘A Portrait of Andrés Segovia, My Favourite Works’ released in 1987.
We are currently finalising details of this year's festival and will update as bookings are confirmed.
