I'd like to meet my grandfather who died when I was 2 as I have no memories of him, musicians like Robert Wyatt, Nick Drake (a bit hard as he is dead, maybe in heaven), Jeff Buckley (to play soccer in heaven, I know you liked that Jeff ;-) ), Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Che Guevara,...and you ;-)
These are pictures from my travel to London, Cambridge and Tanworth-in-Arden in april 2003. This was my personal search for the person and music behind Nick Drake, who I admire a lot. This was the most emotional travel of my life, on my own with backpack. Afterwards in july 26st and 27th 2003 I organised with some american friends the first official Nick Drake Tribute in his hometown of Tanworth-in-Arden. It was great ! These are memories I will remember for life. About 30 people showed up from the USA, UK, Belgium, Italy, Scotland,...Gabrielle Drake (Nick's sister) and Robert Kirby (Nick's arranger) came to visit us. We ended with a very intimate service for Nick at St-Mary Magdalene. In 2004 I worked togheter with Cucamonga on belgian Radio 1 to make a documentary on Nick Drake. You can still listen to it on their website. In my opinion, it's the best radiodocumentary about Nick ever made. All the important people in Nick Drakes life were interviewed. I've been in Tanworth 4 times now. There is still a tribute every year. For me, it's not necessary anymore. Everything that had to be told about Nick is told, so...
But still, Tanworth-in-Arden is a great place to visit one day ! And if you have never heard of Nick, take a listen to his work, you'll be stunned, like me...
