What you won't get out of Michael Burdett's show is to hear the titular lost Nick Drake recording. But, after an hour of storytelling that travels the length of the country and draws the audience into one man's passion, you won't mind.

Burdett, with his soft voice and gentle humour, recounts his tale of a year spent photographing strangers as they listen to an unheard recording of 'Cello Song'. Years after accidentally coming across the recording in a skip while working at Island Records, Burdett began a photography project (despite not owning a camera) to explore Drake's legacy in a world years from his death.

A slideshow plays as Burdett talks, displaying the photographs he captured on his journey – with a cast ranging from two year olds to 96 year olds, from tackle shop workers to past life regressionists and from Tom Stoppard to the Mighty Boosh – as they hear the recording for the first time. The images are intimate, often breathtaking.

Burdett's story aims to show that Drake's legacy as an icon for the depressed isn't as bleak as it sounds and that beauty can be found, randomly, anywhere. This moving hour of heart and passion is testament to that.
