Yorkshire, England). He first appeared on the London and Cornwall folk music
circuits in 1967, alongside John Martyn and Roy Harper. He recorded his debut
album in 1969 and three subsequent albums on the Harvest label. After the
release of Wrecked Again, Chapman parted with Harvest, choosing to sign to
Decca’s subsidiary Deram, where he began adding electric guitar and harder
rhythms to his work. Several albums were released on Deram during the early to
mid 1970’s including one produced by Memphis legend Don Nix. The 1980s was a
quieter, less active time for Chapman. He continued to record for numerous
smaller record labels, and played on the folk and club circuits. The late 1990’s
onwards represented a period of continued rebirth for Chapman. He enjoyed
critical acclaim for his albums and attracted the praise of performers like
Thurston Moore and Supergrass. The 2000s have seen Chapman exploring his guitar
player roots and releasing instrumental albums alongside his song based sets. He
recently toured the United States in 2011.
