I've written a biog of Nick Drake in the 'Cult Artists' section of the www.rockandpopshop.com site

Good read, thanks for that.

Nick Drake is great. His voice is great. I have all of his albums. Bryter Layter is probably my favorite, I just love " one of these things first"

 Thats a bit spooky sounding JMF sounds almost like him maybe just a tad softer on the vocal and slightly less crisp on the finger plucking , but it's a very good impression .
Just got a copy of "Family Tree" which is a collection of home recordings by Nick it as a couple of family songs on it  .
 Nick's mum Molly Drake was very musical , strange to hear her singing one of her own songs , bit Noel Coward sounding .
Also you get to hear Nick Speak and laugh which is interesting , and there are a few Dylan covers , it's a bit basic sounding this CD but it complets my Drake collection .

Mad to see this thread again...I was only singing Riverman last night. An inspirational singer/songwriter.

Here's a treat for you Nick's sister Gabrielle doing a strip in her most famous acting role as Lt Gay Ellis in the 70's Sci-fi series UFO .
It's a pitty we don't have film of Nick , can't see him ever wearing  a purple wig and silver suit , much to shy , but his sister certainly was'nt lol
