About Me

Molly Drake (1915 - 1993)
Mary Lloyd by maidenname
Married to Rodney Shuttleworth Drake (1908-1988)
Mother of the musician Nick Drake & actress Gabrielle Drake

Molly Drake was a very sensitive and lovely woman. She is remembered with love, warmth and respect in the village where she used to live. She played the piano and had a lovely voice. One that can draw you in and fill you with a sense of nostalgic longing. Her two children have both chosen artistic professions, one in acting and the other in music. But even her husband had composed music pieces in his time. Hers was a very musical family. Sadly today only her daughter Gabrielle is alive. She is still active as an actress. Molly's son Nick died in 1974 by an overdose of anti-depressants. She was the one who found him. Her son left behind a small but very rich legacy of songs. For more information about him please visit NickDrake.co.uk or visit the MySpace profile on here .

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has a genuine heart and loves music. Those who love the music of Nick and/or love the acting of Gabrielle. Thank you.
