Nick Drake

We explore the life of Nick Drake with Richard Morton Jack, author of Nick Drake: The Life. This authorised biography, written with the involvement of Nick’s sister Gabrielle and Estate, provides unprecedented access to his story through original research, interviews, and personal archives. In 1968, Nick Drake had all the ingredients for a promising life ahead. Born into a loving, creative family and blessed with a privileged background, he not only possessed striking looks and popularity as a Cambridge undergraduate but also secured a coveted record deal with the UK’s trendiest label, Island. However, three years later, despite receiving critical acclaim for his three albums, Nick’s path took a tragic turn. Overwhelmed by mental illness, he retreated to his family home in rural Warwickshire in 1971, and his life ended in obscurity in 1974, at the age of 26. Since then, Nick has become a figure of enduring fascination and speculation. His records have amassed millions in sales, while his songs find frequent placements in TV and film. He stands today as one of the most widely revered singer-songwriters of his generation, leaving an indelible mark on the music world.

Manchester’s answer to Brian Epstein, Harvey Lisberg had a musical ear, a knack for numbers and within a year of management, took Herman’s Hermits to number one with ‘I’m Into Something Good’. Harvey reveals the excesses of life on the road during The Who’s tour with Herman’s Hermits, nurturing the songwriting talent of Graham Gouldman, helping to rekindle the career of Neil Sedaka and the highs and lows of managing the brilliant 10cc. <h2>Further information</h2> <a href="https://omnibuspress.com/products/into-something-good-my-life-with-herman-s-hermits-10cc-and-jimmy-white-published-on-30th-march-2023" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Harvey Lisberg – I’m Into Something Good: My Life Managing 10cc, Herman’s Hermits &amp; Many More!</a> <a href="https://harveylisberg.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Harvey Lisberg website</a> <a href="https://thestrangebrew.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Harvey-Lisberg-podcast-tracks.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Harvey Lisberg podcast tracks</a> Podcasts also available: <a href="https://thestrangebrew.co.uk/peter-noone/" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Peter Noone</a>, <a href="https://thestrangebrew.co.uk/graham-gouldman-10cc/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Graham Gouldman (2022)</a>, <a href="https://thestrangebrew.co.uk/graham-gouldman/" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Graham Gouldman (2020)</a>, <a href="https://thestrangebrew.co.uk/eric-stewart-1/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eric Stewart Part 1</a> and <a href="https://thestrangebrew.co.uk/eric-stewart-part-2/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Part 2</a>, <a href="https://thestrangebrew.co.uk/kevin-godley-infuences/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kevin Godley</a>, <a href="https://thestrangebrew.co.uk/andrew-loog-oldham/" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Andrew Loog Oldham</a> This podcast is also available on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-strange-brew-artist-stories-behind-the-greatest/id335487744" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a>, Google and all usual platforms If you like what I do <a href="https://ko-fi.com/strangebrewpod" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank">please support me on Ko-fi</a> The post <a href="https://thestrangebrew.co.uk/harvey-lisberg/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Harvey Lisberg – managing Herman’s Hermits and 10cc</a> appeared first on <a href="https://thestrangebrew.co.uk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Strange Brew </a>.

I came across this podcast a few days ago on Facebook.  I have been listening to it almost non stop since then.  I started with the 1 episode and I am working my way up.   There is many great groups I never heard about before, or versions of songs I never heard before.  Interviews from Groups i missed back in the day but now love. Of course there is groups that you heard about and have been listening to for years but you get the stories behind the music. I highly recommend and If I could give more than 5 gold stars I would.

Best music podcast around

Thematic show that focuses on lost gems of yesteryear. Love it!

Great show!
