Michael Chapman & Nick Ellis: A special evening of song and storytelling at St Bride's Church

Nothingville and Mellowtone proudly present Michael Chapman and special guest Nick Ellis in concert at St Bride's Church, Liverpool.

"I had an art college education and on a rainy night in 1966 I went into a pub in Cornwall, but I couldn't afford to pay to go in. So I said, I'll tell you what, I don't want to stay outside in the rain, I'll play guitar for half an hour for you. They offered me a job for the rest of the summer and I've been at it ever since." - Michael Chapman

Chapman is more than just a singer songwriter. His is a life lived in song. With a career spanning over 50 years, and across genres, from bluegrass to folk, ragtime to blues, his guitar, together with his distinctive gritty, earthy vocals paints picture with sound, telling stories of the road, and the life lived.

He'll be joined on the evening by Liverpool songsmith Nick Ellis. Nick and Michael share a strong bond, built on a mutual respect for each other's work, having played together several times in the past.
