In November the acclaimed tribute “Way to Blue: The Songs of Nick Drake” curated by Nick Drake’s original producer, Joe Boyd will be presented in Australia, with a cast of Drake’s admirers and contemporaries.

Boyd was at the helm for two of Drake’s albums – Five Leaves Left and Bryter Layter and his Way to Blue tribute shows have been received with rave reviews in the UK with The Guardian describing the shows as “astonishing… spellbinding… rousing [and] grippingly raw.”

The concert brings together renowned performers including Vashti Bunyan, Scritti Politti front-man Green Gartside, psychedelic pop maverick Robyn Hitchcock, Irish singer Lisa Hannigan, American soul singer Krystle Warren and Ivor Novello award winner Scott Matthews. Several Australian artists will also be added to the lineup.
