Live at the 91Èȱ¬ Proms: 91Èȱ¬ Symphony Orchestra, guest artists and conductor Jules Buckley honour Nick Drake in arrangements including Northern Sky, River Man, and Time Has Told Me.

Presented by Elizabeth Alker.

There has never been an artist quite like Nick Drake, one of the great poets of the folk-rock movement. Fifty years on from his death at the age of just 26, the British singer-songwriter has found a new, cross-generational audience – many of them beguiled by his fragility and fatalism, his music’s mingling of the outwardly simple and the inwardly complex. For this tribute Prom, Jules Buckley brings together a selection of artists to join the 91Èȱ¬ Symphony Orchestra for a unique celebration, with songs including ‘River Man’, ‘Cello Song’, ‘Time Has Told Me’ and ‘Northern Sky’.

INTERVAL: John Wilson, presenter of the TV and radio interview series This Cultural Life, joins Radio 3 presenter Elizabeth Alker to discuss the words and music of Nick Drake.
