On January 24th (Michael Chapman's birthday, as it happens) I answered his summons and went via his house (to collect him) to his friendly local recording studio in Brampton, Cumbria. The recordings I was to play on were 90% completed but Michael wanted me to add some electric slide to a couple of tracks and a bass part (replacing his own original) to one of them. This I did, using my Strat and a bass that was hanging on the studio wall. As I'd brought the dobro (just in case), Michael identified an additional track that it could work on, so I played on that as well. I don't know what any of the songs were called but they sounded fine. If you're an MC fan you won't be disappointed, and if you haven't heard him yet you should check him out.
Job done, we went back chez Chapman and thence to the Centre of Britain in Haltwhistle for a birthday tea in a party which included Andru (Mrs MC), Marie, Maddy Prior and Rick Kemp, and a grand time was had by all.
