'Live at the chapel' is the first instalment in a three-part series built around folk manuscripts from the British Isles, reworked through arrangement, composition and live performance. Wheatley's plan runs across biannual concerts in different London venues: each one is recorded, and that recording becomes the source material for the next. Tunes are expanded, rearranged and threaded together with newly uncovered archival melodies and his own writing, until the project grows into a collection of 40 pieces. Some are traditional; others he composes close to the language of the older forms, so the join between archive and invention is deliberately hard to find. Celebrating both the release of 'Live at the chapel' and the birth of the next album to come, Charlie Wheatley will be performing live with John dipper on concertina and viola d'amore and Zac gavi and Alex Lyon on bass clarinet at the boat house situated on the river Thames
