Songs of Nick Drake at The Acorn, Penzance
Mal Darwen and Richard Gibbons, both based locally, pay tribute to the work of Nick Drake — the British singer-songwriter whose sparse, introspective folk recordings have endured long after his death in 1974. The evening takes place at The Acorn in Penzance, a snug venue well suited to the quiet, contemplative mood of Drake's music. Expect fingerpicked guitar and unhurried arrangements drawn from his catalogue. A good fit for fans of acoustic folk and anyone who appreciates an intimate live performance in a proper theatre setting.
