No offence intended. I suppose I have the zeal of the recently converted when it comes to Nick Drake. So i've read just about everyword written about him in the last two years or so.

The Molly connection is pretty much a given. well known to even the casual Drake anorak.

Have said that she was very much a dilletante - really only of historical interest. and there are people out there of real talent flogging their bollocks off 24/7 at the music game, who would give anything for Guardian review. People who are alive and really deserve a break.

jed Marum and Brian Peters - out of our mudcat community leap out in my mind straight away as more worthy of Guardian reviews.
