A SOUL WITH NO FOOTPRINT.
I stumbled across this singer/songwriter five years ago,whilst tuning in one night to radio 2.Nick Drake is one of this countries musical hidden treasures.In his lifetime Nick only recorded three albums,Five Leaves Left,Bryter Layter and Pink Moon respectively.His life was cut short at the young age of 26 in 1974.Nick Drake has been frequently cited by artists including Kate Bush, Paul Weller and The Black Crowes.Nicks songs along with his lyrics are like hazy summers evenings in a quiet part England, they have the ability to take you wherever you want to go.

THIS IS MY TRIBUTE TO LATE GREAT NICK DRAKE.
KEB DARGE AND PAUL WELLER AT LOST AND FOUND.
Keb Darge is a Scottish DJ of the genres of Northern Soul and Deep Funk music.
He began his career in local disco dance competitions (dancing in the “northern soul style”) in the North of Scotland, and made an appearance in the nationally televised 1979 UK disco dance finals. He was also a dancer for the Wigan Casino, whilst collecting Northern Soul records. Soon after, he was DJing in Wigan at a club next to the casino, and around Scotland as well with his record collection throughout the 1970s.
At the age of 22, Darge moved to London, ceasing to be a DJ. Music promoters from then approached him, asking him to come back to DJing. He obliged, and gave the Northern Soul phenomenon exposure in London through his performances, bringing in people from northern England to move to London who were previously associated with Wigan’s Northern Soul scene before it dissolved.
