Off The Beaten Tracks 4 September

This show includes two tracks from Chas Ambler's 'Borders of Love' album. Chas was a keyboard player and drummer, a singer and owner of the Melodrome stage which appeared at various festivals up and down the country. When he gave me a copy of 'Borders of Love' he told me that he had come in to some money and decided he would use it to record the album he'd always wanted to using a variety of musicians including brass, woodwind and string instruments. 

The songs included in the album had been written over a number of years going back as far as 1979. In the sleeve notes after track 7 it says "Now would be the time to make a cup of coffee. Don't turn the CD over." 

Chas died of cancer at the end of August. He will be missed.
