Hey all,
I¹m not sure how many of you are in or near Toronto, but just in case you
hadn¹t heard about this show, I thought I¹d mention it.
Earlier this year I decided that it would be fitting to commemorate the 30th
anniversary of Nick Drake¹s death with a tribute concert to raise funds for
a cause which, while having nothing to do with Nick or his life, is
something that is very close to my heart. All proceeds from the evening will
be going to Willow (http://www.willow.org/) which is a breast cancer support
centre here in Toronto, providing information, support and guidance for
women who have been newly-diagnosed with breast cancer.
The evening will commence with a screening of the Jeroen Berkvens film ³A
Skin Too Few², a beautiful documentary on Nick¹s life. Following the film
will be three sets of live music, one for each of Nick¹s albums, performed
by a host of Toronto¹s finest musicians:
Andrew Aldridge, David Celia, Lori Cullen, Dean Drouillard, Dyniss, Dan
Goldman, Michael Holt, Myself, Liane De Lotbiniere, Brian Macmillan, Ray
Montford, Jeremy Robinson, Jonathan Seet, Oh Susanna, Kurt Swinghammer,
Chris Warren, Mitch Willer and Royal Wood.
There will also be a raffle with some wonderful prizes which have been
donated by Robert Kirby (Nick¹s friend and arranger), Joe Boyd (Nick¹s
producer), Patrick Humphries (Nick¹s biographer) and Cally Calomon, the
manager of Nick¹s estate. It¹s been such a thrill for me to be in touch with
these people. Totally unexpected and very humbling.
The show is on Thursday November 25th at The Rivoli.
EARLY START TIME! If you want to watch the film (which I highly recommend),
it will be starting at 8pm sharp, and the music starts at 9pm. No being cool
and rolling in at 11 O¹Clock....you¹ll miss the show...and get there early
because I anticipate a full house. The cover is $10 and raffle tickets are
$2 each or 6 for $10.
