Don’t miss the return of guitar legend and acclaimed songwriter on his annual visit to Cornwall.

“Michael Chapman has always been a superb guitarist, with a thumb and fingers for a rhythm section capable of extending his range - as here - from bluesy picking to Django Reinhardt-style swing sophistication, ragtime intricacies, and an apposite bottleneck elegy to his late friend, John Fahey. His voice, careworn and naturally downbeat, may not have been Chapman's fortune, but it suits his songwriting perfectly, and his own confession to out-miserying Leonard Cohen is soon nullified by humorous anecdotes about trains, boats, and the aforementioned Fahey's dinner-table eccentricities. A Fully Qualified Survivor indeed, Chapman drew on a repertoire stretching back to his first album, the glorious Rainmaker, proving it a source of renewable energy.”

Rob Adams Glasgow Herald

“Chapman's expansive guitar work creates a filmic soundtrack of the American South-west that's as compelling as anything Ry Cooder might muster.”
