Post 640 - John Graham - Monday Sunday Ramble - Western Train

There isn't a lot of info on John Graham. He played guitar and vocals with Blackspur and with The Healers 1971-2. He also performed solo on the ABC's  GTK a few times between 1971 and 1974. He was quite a prolific performer in the Melbourne folk scene of the 60s and 70s and performed with Margret Roadknight and other notable folk singers.  John & Blackspur performed at Sunbury  in 1974. Here to download is John's single "Monday Sunday Ramble" b/w "Western Train" (EMI-10272). According to my books this is the only single he recorded, it was penned by John and was released in July 1973. The single was produced by Ian Miller. Sadly John Graham died in 1977. I couldn't find anything on John except that he did the one single but thanks goes out to Matt, Terry, Alex, Pat, Peter and Ed and Marina who supplied me with more info - great joint effort people! Thanks also to Paul who sent me this to post on the Blog.

I’m wondering if this is the same musician who was engaged and about to marry in Wangaratta. He decided to drive up a little early as a surprise, but his car ran off the road. He was a lovely man, and his fiancĂ©e was understandably shattered. They attended the same church as my family. Many Australian bands participated in a benefit concert in honour of John.

A bassist named John Graham played with Blackspur, who opened for Deep Purple in 1974.
