Well…they are going to be a series of filmed ‘as live’ online only performances where CHAPMAN plays cover requests from fans alongside ‘Bare Bones’ versions of tracks from his own albums.
Every week there will be a new session. Each session will feature one cover song and one CHAPMAN original and is launching on YouTube in August 2010.

CHAPMAN is currently looking for suggestions of tracks to cover. Any genre, any style considered all performed in a stripped down ‘Bare Bones’ style.

Each cover song will be dedicated to the person who suggested it.

Please leave your cover song suggestions as comments on this blog…

The show I’m on is called Triple Threat and my part is the first 30 minutes.

The station has a short break right at the beginning of the interview directly after I say the word ‘Pyjamas’ but it soon comes back on air SO STICK WITH IT!

I talk at length about my new albums and loads of other stuff over half an hour…let me know what you think!
