In a recent interview with Burton Mail, Chapman talks about her music and some thoughts on Robert Plant.
She tells interviewer Richard Castle:
“I’m always thrilled to have commercial success, but, for me, the measure of my success is to be asked to work with people like Robert Plant.
“A few months ago, we shared a meal and what struck me about him was how openminded and curious he was. And we’re not just talking about music. He’s got such a quizzical mind about everything and I think that’s a great quality for a musician to have.”
Robert Plant attended the 90th birthday party for former Wolves goalkeeper Bert Williams on January 31, 2010. There were 250 guests present at Molineux to celebrate the event.

Robert commented: “Performing at Sound & Vision is something I’m really excited about. Cancer Research UK is a very worthwhile cause, and when Bob [Harris] asked me to get involved I didn’t hesitate.
