Should be interesting, I'll probably prefer the documentary rather than the concert, but who knows?

BBC4 (Freeview Channel 9)

21:00-22:30 - The Songs Of Nick Drake: Way To Blue

Highlights of a concert celebrating the singer-songwriter at the Barbican Centre in London, featuring performances by Vashti Bunyan and Green Gartside.

22:30-23:20 - Nick Drake: A Skin Too Few

Profile of the singer-songwriter, whose career was cut tragically short by his death at the age of 26.

These programmes are followed at 23:20 on the same channel by "Guitar Heroes At The BBC", featuring The Who and ZZ Top - I'll be watching this one too!

It was. I watched quite a lot of it and was amazed at how many bands music i could hear in his, He has obviously influenced a lot of people in music.

Yip, and from waht I know, I think it's sad that he never achieved the fame he so desperately wanted until after his life had ended.
