Sounds Like
The Inn at the End of the World. Some rock/folk blues country and Santana, a hint of Beach Boys Harmony, the tight rhythm of the Beatles, the 12 string chorus of the Byrds and a measure of humour - stir and serve chilled on the first day of spring
Words and melody are the only two elements a songwriter has - but to them a performing songwriter can add his deep feeling and understanding for the song. Graheme writes all his own material, in a pop/folk style with hints of blues and country. He makes every effort to avoid songwriting cliche´s, writing from inspiration he works hard to weave poetic lyrics with memorable melodies, thereby creating a style - not following one.
Graheme has been entertaining audiences since the early seventies. He started as lead guitarist in bands playing the hits of the day then re-emerging in the late eighties as a singer/songwriter. He has played in Canada, Europe, Belgium, Switzerland and France and many UK clubs from Portsmouth to Birmingham via London and back. While his stage act features his acoustic guitar, harmonica and keyboard work Graheme can also play drums, electric guitar and bass guitar. His music has been featured on US radio stations especially in Atlanta.
During the last two years he has played music festivals - including local performances at Bognor Live in 2003 and 2004. Graheme has had airplay as well as being featured artist on Delta Radio, Haslemere. As a multi- instrumentalist and accomplished producer/engineer Graheme is very much at home in the studio, he has attended a producer master class given by Hugh Padgham (Sting, Phil Collins and the Police).
Apart from songwriting Graheme also composes for film,TV and audio book. He released the instrumental 'Arkadia' in 1988, this album is scheduled for re-release on CD in 2005. Another of his highlights was designing and creating the sounds and music for the BBV audio book feature 'Blood Sports' together with the post production work. Having been a fan of Dr Who for so long he was pleased to be associated with Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred.
Graheme's debut album for Yew Tree Records entitled 'Soon' was released in 1996. His current album is entitled 'Mistress of the Moon'
