| Description | Leeds-born Michael Chapman - alongside Caledonian contemporaries, Bert Jansch and Al Stewart - emerged in the mid-1960s with his uniquely English take on folk-blues. The era of the folk-singer-songwriter-as-pop-star was kicked off Stateside by Bob Dylan and Tom Paxton, and cloning soon followed in Britain in the shape of Donovan and Cat Stevens. But what musicians such as Chapman and Jansch then brought to the folkies'' party was guitar virtuosity. Whereas Jansch first learned from Scottish traditional folk musicians such as Hamish Imlach when he took up guitar, Michael was perhaps even more of a maverick. First playing pubs in Hull and Leeds, the musical style he carved out for himself drew from American influences as wide-ranging as Charles Mingus and John Fahey. Add to this Chapman''s very North of England sense of humour and view on life, and you have the artist Michael Chapman. This 2003 recorded and filmed concert captures Michael Chapman in the kind of intimate folk club setting where he first started out, but he has played all kinds of venues throughout his career depending on the project at hand. H''s alternated between playing solo and being backed by a band - sometimes featuring Hull-born Mick Ronson and Steeleye Span''s Rick Kemp. Recorded live at Barrel''s Ale House in Berwick-on-Tweed 15th August 2003. 2 CD + DVD. |
