His greatest show Oliver! is hitting the West End for Christmas and to mark the occasion I'm exploring his East End background, his involvement in political theatre and his wild, wild rise and Icarus fall.

Released on this day in 1965 The Kink Kontroversy. 11 of the 12 cuts are Davies originals and the signposts to his unique songwriting journey are popping up all over this record. Calypso, introspective ballads, head-down-flat-out R&B, social commentary, character songs. Things get *really* interesting from here. Great record.

50 years ago today, singer and songwriter Nick Drake left us at the age of 26. He only sold a few thousand copies of his three albums when they were released between 1969 and 1972 but he has long had a devoted cult following. I have included myself in their number since I was 18.
Last year I took pilgrimage to his hometown of Tanworth-in-Arden, Warwickshire. There’s a plaque on his former family home and he was laid to rest in the beautiful churchyard there.
Pic No.5 is Hampstead Heath where Nick was snapped for his last album sleeve. Pic No.6 is the old Sound Techniques studio in Chelsea where all three of his albums were made
