Icarus Club Friday Night Special:
Michael Chapman

Michael Chapman first became known on the Cornish Folk Circuit in 1967. Playing a blend of atmospheric and autobiographical material, he established a reputation for intensity and innovation and recorded a quartet of classic albums, one of which, Fully Qualified Survivor, featuring the guitar of Mick Ronson and Rick (Steeleye Span) Kemp's bass, was John Peel's favourite album of 1970.

Still winning admirers everywhere for his unique blend of folk, ragtime, jazz and blues, this is undoubtedly a master craftsman at the top of his trade!
