hull fucked nick drake over big time! R.I.P Sky Saxon

was reading about nick drakes carers and was gutted to come across this:

"In August, Drake recorded three unaccompanied songs for the BBC's John Peel show. Two months later, he opened for Fairport Convention at the Royal Festival Hall in London, followed by appearances at folk clubs in Birmingham and Hull. Remembering the performance in Hull, folk singer Michael Chapman commented: "The folkies did not take to him; [they] wanted songs with choruses. They completely missed the point. He didn't say a word the entire evening. It was actually quite painful to watch. I don't know what the audience expected, I mean, they must have known they weren't going to get sea–shanties and sing-alongs at a Nick Drake gig!" The experience reinforced Drake's decision to retreat from live appearances; the few concerts he did play around this time were usually brief, awkward, and poorly attended. Drake seemed unwilling to "perform", and rarely addressed his audience. As many of his songs were played in different tunings, he frequently paused to retune between numbers."

maaaaan what a bunch of idiots was just getting respect for hulls old folk music scene. manly through the watersons with lal waterson specifally (king cresote is a fan)

if you know anything about psychdelica and garage you'll know the seeds. sky saxon (stage name didnt have zappa as a father) the lead singer passed away on the same day as michale jackson so annoyly the word of his death didnt really get out.
