“It was an absolute pleasure to meet up again with my friend Gilbert O’Sullivan at last Sunday’s Sunshine Music Festival in Worcestershire where we were on the same bill. Gilbert and I go way back to the time when I produced his album ‘Life And Rhymes’ in 1982. As well as being a songwriter and performer of the highest calibre he also makes an excellent cup of tea” Graham

“Oh what a night we had following our final gig on our Australian tour in Perth with our special guests cricketing legend Dennis Lillee and superstar Hank Marvin. As you can imagine there was lots of talk about guitars and cricket.” Graham.

“ I was delighted to play bass and guitar on the recording of ‘Thank you for being a friend’, the ‘Music For Dementia Thank You Day anthem’ by Tony Christie. I’ve known Tony for many years, and it was while he was recording a song that I had co-written that I got a call from Graeme Pleeth, Tony’s producer, asking me if I’d like to do some backing vocals on the track. I said I would and mentioned that I happened to be with Andrew Gold, and should I bring him along to the session. Well of course he said yes. That is how Tony met Andrew and I think it went someway to him wanting to use Andrew‘s wonderful song ‘Thank you for being a friend’ as the Thank You Day anthem. It was a great track to work on particularly as I met up again with fellow musicians Wix from Paul McCartney’s band, Dan Gillespie Sells from The Feeling and of course Sting. Other players on the track include Nile Rodgers and Abe Laboriel Jr who also plays with Macca. A pretty cool line up. A great song for a great cause." Cheers, Graham

It was Andrew Campbell, the boss of Graham's record label Lojinx, who suggested sending a new song, Floating In Heaven, to Brian May of Queen. Graham had written it at a crucial time in the history of space exploration and was inspired by what the latest breakthrough was about to reveal. Brian, who has a passion for astronomy and a PhD in astrophysics, immediately saw the relevance of the song and the pair worked together to release Floating In Heaven as a single to mark the unveiling to the world of the first astonishing images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope on 12 July. The song was used as the backing track for a video if images released by The Space Telescope Science Institute and Graham and Brian performed it live with an orchestra at the sixth Starmus convention, held on 5-10 September 2922 in Yerevan, Armenia, along with several of Graham's established hit songs.
