Nick Drake Documentary

Anyone else catch the beautiful 'A Skin Too Few' on BBC Four (TV) last night?

I thought it was going to be a repeat of a documentary I had seen before, but this was new to me.

He would have been 55 this year.

What a waste of a glorious vision and talent.

Didnt make the effort as I thought it was a repeat of the one shown a couple of months back. In that one it was amazing to see the similarity of his mothers compositions to his. I didnt realise that Gabrialle Drake was his sister either who made extensive contribution to the one I saw. Was this a different one?

I am also awaiting a repeat of the Jeff Buckley doc shown on digital BBC (?four/choice) which I only caught the second half of

Sounds like the one you saw a couple of months back.

The older documentary I have seen featured his sister Gabrielle, but did not include his mother's compositions.

She clearly influenced Nick's style.
