Nick Drake - 1970 Fotheringay Tour Program - Nick Drake’s Only Tour



Fotheringay/Humblebums/Nick Drake UK tour in March, 1970.  This is the only tour Nick Drake ever did, and these five shows were five of only 18 live dates Drake ever played.

Drake was famously reticent about playing live, and this tour, with Sandy Denny’s post-Fairport Convention band with husband Trevor Lucas, and Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty’s Humblebums was his sole concert tour and at only five dates.

This 8 page program features photos and bio’s of Fotheringay and Humblebums, but only a photo of Drake, who’s debut album Five Leaves Left had been released only six months prior.  RFH (Royal Festival Hall) written neatly in the top right corner.  Measures 8″ x 10″.

The program is for the Bowie show and one earlier in the month by Peter Frampton and the J.Geils Band, there are bio’s on both bands, photos of each, and assorted period advertisements including one for Bowie’s RCA albums.  Measures 5 1/2″ x 7 1/2 and has 16 pages.
