Beautiful cover version of a wonderful song. i remember struggling to hear this across a smoky, noisy crowded working men's club in Doncaster Yorkshire. The club secretary, Simon had booked him thinking he was a John Denver cover act. It was sad to see Nick become disillusioned by it all. I remember Nick after I think Pink Moon he was playing, suddenly stopped and with head down walked off stage half way through the song - never to play it live again. As a strange footnote I recall the warm-up act was the 70's comedian Charlie Williams
Such an intense story, Chris, thank you for sharing it with us. It always made me sad to know how ungrateful his even shorter live performance-career was.
Wow what a story, thank you for sharing Chris. I'm 46, a musician for as long as I can remember, and have only this year discovered Nick Drake; no idea how I missed him. Like many of us my life revolves around music and my life has changed after discovering him...and I hear you were in a pub 50 odd years ago while he was playing live! Much respect
A lot of people can play the Nick Drake guitar pretty well but I’ve gotta tell you man you do the best job of sounding like his vocals of anybody I’ve ever heard it’s very difficult to replicate Nic drakes vocal style but I gotta hand it to you man you really do it excellent really impressed
the funny thing is that I thought it was recent because of the quality of the video but in reality it's an eleven years old video and I only realized because of the Pc. That Pc right there and the desk too... transported me to a place where I was greener than the hills, great cover man.

Hi, can I ask you something? what's the tuning? CGCFGE or CGCFCE? Fifth fret??? I use yhe fourth with the same chords. And what chords are you using? E/F#/G#?? thanks
I use it on the fifth because my guitar is actually tuned half step lower, so here it's rather B F# B E F# B (so I don't have to do it all over again just to play "Which Will"). And yes, the first option would be right, the second string is only one step higher than the third. And I think I never stopped to think what exactly the real chord names are, haha. Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the comment.
