Keith James & Rick Foot at Telford’s Warehouse in Chester

Feb 2 2009 by Michael Green, Chester Chronicle

KEITH James and Rick Foot will be performing Poet in New York at Telford’s Warehouse in Chester on Monday, February 9 at 8pm.

This will be a celebration of New York’s abundant musical and poetic history in a concert of unique and evocative music.

Poet in New York is a landmark album from Keith and Rick who have achieved and sustained deserved notoriety as interpretative performers of the music of Nick Drake.

During 2007 & 2008 they embarked on another challenging endeavour The Poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca.

Both the album and the tour won them great attention and respect, filling hundreds of venues across the country.

Poet in New York, as a contemporary project, was first offered to Elvis Costello by Lorca’s niece Laura Garcia Lorca and when nothing surfaced by way of recordings or concerts, Keith and Rick were then offered the opportunity by the Lorca legal representative in London.

Tickets for their Chester performance can be obtained by ringing 01244 390090.
