A college friend of NIck Drake, Robert Kirby's first commissioned works as an arranger were his unique, autumnal orchestrations for Drake's 'Five leaves left'. The sound was English and melancholic, closer to Vaughan Williams than Phil Spector. He was soon in demand and by the end of the 70s had worked with the cream of the British folk rock world. This is the first collection of Kirby's very special sound.
