When I surveyed the audience, which could've been larger at the start of the evening he said "I wouldn't worry mate, my lot don't show up til halfway through and they'll be half-p*ssed anyway!" He was right, a memorable night! Thanks Mike. |

From then on I added Michael Chapman to my list of top influential guitar players.. It's still one of my favourite Albums... |

13 Sep 21 - 11:12 AM (#4119824) Subject: RE: Obit: Michael Chapman (1941-2021) From: GUEST,Some bloke Sad to hear this. I ran the sound desk for him a couple of years ago in Doncaster. By then, his hearing wasn't perfect and I reckon I put more volume on stage with the monitors than on the main PA... That said, his guitar playing was as ever inspirational and it was an honour to work with him. I've seen him a number of times over the years and whilst little of his music was memorable as tunes, his relentless playing, changing, playing again and never stopping got you in a zone, and unlike prog rock, did it with a solitary acoustic guitar. |

And I gather he only played with thumb and one finger, though it sounded more like two or three fingers at times. |
