Instruments to Go

His stage act features acoustic guitar, harmonica and keyboards.

First Cd Release

Track by Track Review

December 1997 marked the release of Graheme's first CD entitled 'Soon'. In a age of synths 'Soon' returned to the 60's for its instrumentation, the keyboard player used hammond organ and wurlitzer piano, 'So Many Dreams' featured a Piano. A great deal of the album was recorded live, all musicians playing together, the exception was the brass section who were recorded at Bandwagon Studios in Mansfield,Nottingham. The blend of all rhythm instruments together creates a blended sound that adds a special something to the finished product.

Soon
A humorous look at buskers brush with fame.Graheme plays acoustic guitar, adding glass on steel to push the track along. David Wilson's bass holds the track on course while electric slide guitar takes the track home, puctuated with brass riffs.

I Can't Believe
Comment on being out work homeless, a problem that continues to grow as divisions between the have and have nots widens. Hammond organ fills the emptyness while cutting guitars riffs underline the anguish.

Hurricane
Bass underlines the menace of the storm. Electric Piano adds atmosphere, brushed drums add a groove. Harmonics add a wistful haunting quality. back feel.

The Night and Me
Alone with ones thoughts. Sax runs lace the song. The bass travels the world searching for rest.

Night Winds
Who knows the power of the night? David's backing vocals lift the solitary vocal. fluid Piano lines float along while guitar and drums form a sparse backing.

Over the Border
Crossing the border is the way to freedom. Quiet choruses are a feature of the track, the opposite of the normal.

Winter Sun
What secrets lie in hidden side of nature. Life repels and attracts us. Trumpet and Saxophone punch out the chorus lines. Falling Hammond licks run through the verse. The bridge is quieter for electric guitar harmonies.

Always one more Bend
Driving bass and accordion lend an infectious dance beat to a song they has hidden depths. Stuttering saxophone and trumpet pecks around the edges of song.

So Many Dreams
An anthem to Yuletide, soulful and simple.

Paladin
Instrumental, the Paladin to rescue. A true solo track since Graheme plays all the instruments. Hints more directly at an optimism the the albums trys to convey.
