I'm sure I saw this guy perform as a support artist on an Emerson Lake and Palmer UK tour, he was brilliant then, he stole the show, and he was performing solo, I thought ELP were good, but he just was superbly talented, is he still playing guitar?
@derekrevell He's still playing! I saw him at Moseley Folk Fest last year, he was very good. And he's 'cool' now... got two albums in the Wire magazines end of year round-up, one of them on Thurston Moore(Sonic Youth)'s label :-)
Cant stop playing this, its beautiful. Didn't know much about Michael Chapman until quite recently. Must listen to more of his music. The drummer in this video really makes me smile. Great stuff thanks for posting.
@crussell216 hey I'm in the same boat as you. if you use a program called "audacity", which is available free, you can make an mp3 or wav etc from the sound that comes out of your speakers... provided that you dont have vista, cos that wont let you capture your 'wave out' - it's what i did!
be careful if your downloading it from itunes store because the song entitled among the trees is 8 minutes long and it is just michael chapman and some one talking
among the trees is called northern lights on the itunes store
This is a rare Old Grey Whistle Test Performance that has been kept in the can until More Guitar Heroes at the BBC Part 2. (2009). The really great news is that parts 4,5 and 6 are being broadcast over News Year's Eve/New Year's Day on BBC 4. Part 4 is at 9:15 New Year's Eve and features a 1973 performance by Michael of "Wellington the Skellington" leaving "The Hero Returns" in the can.
I can remember when mike chapman played all the local hull venues and bassist rick kemp sold guitars in hammonds music department (also in hull) God those were the days Eh??
Michael Chapman is playing at The Vortex on Sunday 12 Feb. £10. For more info and bookings please call 020 7254 4097.

Isn`t it great when you stumble across some raw talent, no matter how long ago. This is quality. Wish I was my dads age.
