***Three Records from Sundown***
Nick Drake was an English songwriter, singer and instrumentalist. At the time of his death, at the age of 26 in 1974, his three albums had sold poorly and he was little known. Nick Drake’s darkly lyrical songs have since found their audience and he’s now regarded as an influential musical figure. In Three Records from Sundown, Charles Maynes traces the Nick Drake tale through interviews with legendary producer Joe Boyd, who championed the young artist and produced his first two records.
Produced and narrated by Charles Maynes
***Remembering Five Leaves Left: Danny Thompson on Nick Drake***

In conversation with Robyn Johnston, Danny recalls the recording session for Five Leaves Left and tells of encounters with a fine and fragile young musician.
