BBC gets blue plaque wrong
mainBBC Music Day has put up a blue plaque on the Tanworth house where the iconic singer-songwriter Nick Drake lived and, at 26, tragically died.
Haplessly, the BBC got his birth date wrong – two years wrong.
Drake was born in 1948.
Thank God Lebrecht is never wrong. Never mispells anything. Keep that way, Norm!
I think “Three Hours” was Drake’s finest work. As a songwriter he was better than excellent, both music and lyrics. He was a great guitarist, and a unique singer.
