Patrick Humphries reflects on when he wrote his book and what happened since:
"So, nearly 40 years on from Nick Drake’s sad, solitary death, what is left?
One song from Aix hasn’t emerged; some bedroom demos remain; alternate takes; BBC sessions; tantalizing news that home movies of Nick in France, 1965, may have come to light…
Then along comes a film clip: tall figure loping across the field at a 70s rock festival – and then gone. The internet went into meltdown; it was him, the only moving footage of the adult Nick Drake. But no one can say for certain". |
