    We were honoured to welcome to our dressing room a We were honoured to welcome to our dressing room after our gig in Perth Australia a couple of nights ago the legendary Hank Marvin. What a thrill to meet up again with the man that inspired so many of us to start playing the guitar. As you can see we had such a lovely happy time with him. Cheers Graham

    The phrase ‘Modesty Forbids’ always struck me The phrase ‘Modesty Forbids’ always struck me as such a funny contradiction. I would use it myself when, for example, asked about some of my achievements say “I could go on, but modesty forbids”. When I told Peter Curzon at @StormStudio who did all the art work my idea for the album title he immediately got it. The front cover picture says it all, the anonymous peacock. It was a joy to write and record this album and to be able to work with so many fine musicians and songwriters many of whom I have worked with before plus a couple of newcomers. If you get as much pleasure listening to the album as I did making it then I’ll be very happy. I’m very much looking forward to taking Heart Full Of Songs on the road again where I get to play and tell some of the stories behind the songs. Pre-order ‘Modesty Forbids’ from lojinx.com

    Again at last night’s ‘Christmas Without Tears Again at last night’s ‘Christmas Without Tears’ charity gig with the great Harry Shearer. Harry and his wife, Judith Owen have held this event every year since 2005. The proceeds this year go to a very worthy cause The West London Mission. FYI Harry provided one of the voices for the cartoon ‘Animalympics’ for which I provided the music. It was a great night with fabulous guests.

    At last week’s ‘Legends of Football’ event w At last week’s ‘Legends of Football’ event where Alex and I met the great Arsene Wenger. For Alex it was ‘one of the best days of my life’. The event was in aid of Nordoff Robbins which is a music therapy charity of which I am a supporter.
    Me and youngest son Alex last night at the ’Lege Me and youngest son Alex last night at the ’Legends Of Football’ event honouring the great Arsene Wenger. This all came about through my involvement with Nordoff Robbins. It was a wonderful evening raising money for a tremendous cause. It was a complete surprise to Alex who had no idea what I’d invited him too. Meeting Arsene made him so happy and me also.
    it was great to meet up with my goddaughter Emily it was great to meet up with my goddaughter Emily Gold, daughter of the late great Andrew Gold. She is a great songwriter and singer like her dad. Check out for her band ‘Cosmo Gold’.
    I went to Abbey Road Studios last Thursday initial I went to Abbey Road Studios last Thursday initially to do an interview with Sirius XM (The Beatles Channel) and talk about the Abbey Road album on the 50th anniversary of its release. I got to hear the new version of the album with Miles Showel, who mastered it, which was absolutely mind blowing. But the icing on the cake was at a party that evening held in studio 1 meeting up with Ringo again and Paul, who I hadn’t seen in decades. It was a fab day indeed.

    I always felt that Wax never got the recognition i I always felt that Wax never got the recognition it deserved and I’m hoping this release will go some way in ameliorating that situation. I had a great time working with @andrewgoldofficial both on a personal and creative level which I think is reflected in the music we made together.
