Something else for Nick? An interview with Nick Drake
Jerry Gilbert, Sounds, 13 March 1971
NICK DRAKE IS A SHY, INTROVERTED folk singer who is not usually known to speak unless it is absolutely necessary. But Nick is not the kind of folk singer who will drift into your friendly neighbourhood folk club; in fact, if you've seen him perform, the chances are that it was on the bill of a sellout Festival Hall concert.
