Beth Orton

Undoubtedly one of the most influential English singer-songwriters of the last 50 years, Drake found little mainstream success during his lifetime. However since his untimely death at the age of 26, his fragile acoustic, autumnal music has touched the hearts of millions of people. This very special evening, curated by his producer Joe Boyd with arranger Robert Kirby, brings together an array of special guest artists to celebrate a unique talent.

Featuring: Beth Orton, Graham Coxon, Camille O’Sullivan, Vashti Bunyan, Robyn Hitchcock, Jack Steadman, Kate St John, Neil MacColl, Zoe Rahman, Leo Abraham, Martha Wainwright plus more
