 “If you ever lose faith in human nature, go around the country with a lost Nick Drake recording in a rucksack. People reveal themselves to be kind, curious, informative, interesting and wonderful.”

Strange Face is the award-winning Edinburgh Fringe show about a lost Nick Drake recording rescued, by chance, from the bottom of a skip, and composer Michael Burdett’s quest to photograph 200 people’s reactions as they listen to the track. Amongst the images he captured are Billy Bragg, Tom Stoppard, Ross Noble, Jeremy Clarkson, Paul Whitehouse, Danny Baker, Tracy Chevalier, Fearne Cotton, Martin Freeman and Noel Fielding. The resultant stories that emerge from Burdett’s travels provide a fascinating backdrop to this humorous and occasionally poignant show on the life of Nick Drake.

  “Burdett is a sure-footed guide who keeps us surprised and involved throughout an hour that’s as optimistic and open-hearted as anything in town.” The Times
