Session Work
Donockley has recorded as a session musician with Roy Harper, Midge Ure, Del Amitri, Alan Stivell and Status Quo. Bruce Johnson of the Beach Boys has used him. Five albums by prog-rockers Mostly Autumn feature him, as do Welsh prog group Magenta on two albums. He also performed on "Etarlis," a 2007 release by Mermaid Kiss and on Dark Passion Play, a 2007 release by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. Occasionally he also accompanied the band on their Dark Passion Play tour and features on the music video for the single "The Islander". When the band released their latest album, Imaginaerum, in 2011, he was asked to play a wide array of instruments including, uillean pipes, Celtic bouzouki, tin and low whistles and was even asked to supply some Cumbrian chanting on the song, "The Crow, the Owl and the Dove." He also joined the band on the Imaginaerum World Tour. He can be heard on recent movie soundtracks "Robin Hood" (Ridley Scott 2010) and "Ironclad" (Jonathan English 2011). Notably, he also performed at the Scottish leg of Live 8 with Midge Ure.

Famous quotes containing the words session and/or work:
“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“It is necessary to get a lot of men together, for the show of the thing,—otherwise the world will not believe. That is the meaning of committees. But the real work must always be done by one or two men.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
