Description
In 2005, Ashley Hutchings could have been forgiven for resting on any of his many laurels. There was recognition from the BBC Folk Awards, EFDSS, The National Theatre and ultimately The Queen; there was a retrospective box set; there was an enviable back catalogue of albums that in effect define folk-rock. But as always, he sought 'fresh woods and pastures new'. He'd worked with almost every big name in folk and folk rock; now he decided, as he had before, to share his experience and expertise with a new generation. He brought together Ruth Angell, Jo Hamilton and Mark Hutchinson and they became Rainbow Chasers - a name full of optimism and promise that at once looks forward and harks back (to songs by Chopin, Richard Thompson and Ashley himself).
Over a couple of years in the mid-noughties, the group (for they were a group rather than a band) created three superb albums, the pick of which, together with some gems you may not have heard before, is included on this excellent retrospective. As I wrote at the time, 'The thing about chasing rainbows is that you never quite catch them but that doesn't matter because you are always in the presence of a thing of beauty.' - Nigel Schofield
