December 1996 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 standup piano. The basic tracks were recorded live at Roundhouse, Alton, Hants and the overdubs, tracking and mixing were completed at Bandwagon Studios in Mansfield, Nottingham, UK.
Soon

Winter Sun
Secrets lie in the other 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 a quieter setting for electric guitar harmonies.
Always one more Bend
Bass and accordion lend an infectious dance beat to a song that is regular audience-joining-in pleaser. Stuttering saxophone and trumpet pecks around the edges of song.
So Many Dreams
An anthem to a wonderful Yuletide, whatever happened to the true meaning of Yuletide - before the Christians 'adopted' and renamed this ancient festival?
