Love Nick Drake, been a fan for years after seeing the CD in my library for ages and then one day getting it out to give it a listen. I grew up on the outskirts of Birmingham and he was living down the road in a country village whilst I was living there, so I feel a sort of kinship.

His mother was a gifted musician too, and if you can ever hear any of her music you'll realise her influence on him (I heard it on a documentary once but can't recall the name).
