Boyd will also provide a sneak preview of his forthcoming tribute album “Way To Blue” (which features Lisa Hannigan, Green Gartside, Teddy Thompson, Robyn Hitchcock, Vashti Bunyan, Danny Thompson and many others.) He will also discuss his work with Nick Drake and read from the Drake chapters in “White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960s.” A special guest will sing a Nick Drake song and there will be a short Q&A between Joe Boyd and Noisey Editor, Ben Shapiro.
