Graham Robins - Singer - Songwriter!

'The purpose of a song is to communicate thoughts and feelings that people can relate to.

Graham's songs go spinning out to those people who have dared to experience the highs and lows of life. His words are the vehicle on which they are transported, his voice delivers them to a place they know very well.

Graham has been gigging from the mid 60's and still moving onwards. With over four decades in the music business and with a heart and love of performing that is still as young as yesterday

Sharing the stage and opening shows for numerous artists including: Georgie Fame, Amen Corner, Geno Washington and The Ram Jam Band, Jimmy James and The Vagabonds and Long John Baldry. Other artists include: Sonia Christina, Chicken Shack, Colin Blunstone, Jimmy Ruffin, The Herd and Desmond Dekker.

Worked in the studio alongside: Andy Pyle (Blodwyn Pig - Gary Moore - Rod Stewart) James Litherland (John Hiseman - Leo Sayer) Mike Adcock (Cadillac Kings) + Paul Devonshire - Chris Newman - Dave Baldwin (Chris Farlowe) - Mark Burr, Matt Winch and others top session players.

Top sound engineers - DAVE WOOSTER (Van Morrison, Eric Clapton) - Martin Atkinson (M.A.R.S.) Dave Williams (The Grange - Suffolk)

Opened shows for : Ernie Payne (Superb American Country Bluesman) Christine Collister, Paul Williams Blue Thunder (ex Juicy Luicy)

Most recently - Glen Tilbrook - The Waterboys - Shana Morrison - Seth Lakeman - Chris Farlowe
