These three songs show Graham to be a versatile and talented musician. The stand out track is 'Eyes of a Child' with a well constructed guitar and piano partnership and great vocals.

His musical hero is Bruce Springsteen but he also enjoys the music of a diverse range of bands such as Divine Comedy, Tom Petty and The Beatles.

He first plucked up the courage to play at the busking night at Bildeston Kings Head about ten years ago and has been running the same event himself for about the last eight.

Graham also plays lead guitar and sings backing vocals with "The Blind Poets" and in the pub covers duo "The Brothers Grimm" with fellow "Poet" Jim Rowbotham.

Jim persuaded Graham to record some of his own original songs at his studio Rectory Records at little Glemham last year and the resulting CD "Remember the days" caught the ear of Radio Suffolk's Stephen Foster who very kindly rated it his third favourite recording by a local musician for 2003. Other favourable reviews came from Tony Shevlin (EADT) and Debs Warren who runs the Songwriters night at The Milestone.

I did an internet search for another Welham and I found Graham. Eyes of a Child is a brilliant song. Keep it up! Ha! 'Does it really matter if there's chocolate on the chair.' Great line!
