Founding member of the Oysterband, Alan Prosser took a reprieve from the British folk-rock band to record a solo album, Hall Place, in 1997. A collection of 11 songs and five instrumentals, the album was co-produced by Alaric Neville, who played bass, bandura, mandolin, melodeon, and Hammond organ. Prosser was greatly aided on the album by Oysterband bandmates Telfer and Jones, who supplied lyrics for several tunes, and Chop and Lee, who provided instrumental support. In a review of the album, Rock'n'Reel wrote, "Prosser's smooth authoritative and unhurried vocals set the mood for an album rich in texture, mood, and melody, and, calling on the collective talents of various Oysters and Chumbawambas, he creates a beautifully realized collection that builds on his English folk roots and adds Celtic, Breton, blues, and even classical strains all approach with a flair for the unusual and offering welcomed surprises." ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide
