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:
“The bar is the male kingdom. For centuries it was the bastion of male privilege, the gathering place for men away from their women, a place where men could go to freely indulge in The Bull Session ... the release of the guilty anxiety of the oppressor class.”
—Shulamith Firestone (b. 1945)
“Whether outside work is done by choice or not, whether women seek their identity through work, whether women are searching for pleasure or survival through work, the integration of motherhood and the world of work is a source of ambivalence, struggle, and conflict for the great majority of women.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
