Tom Graham R.I.P




Tom Graham,.guitarist with mid-80's Gosport legends Secret Corners,sadly passed away last week.He will be missed,and my thoughts and sympathies go out to Tom's family and friends.Here a clip of Secret Corners live in 1985

Tom,along with life-long friends and band-mates Johnny Hatch,Steve Kirk and Mick Horton other wise known as Secret Corners played a massive part in the early days of Paul Groovy & The Pop Art Experience-the very first Pop Art Experience gig was supporting them and The Now. When Stephen Clarke, the singer from The Now,following their split,joined me on guitar,it was Secret Corners that gave us our first gigs,when we became a four-piece with the arrival of Joanne Irwin & Steve Herlihy it was Secret Corners that got us gigs in London, Bumbles in Acton being one of the regular ones. For this they have my love and respect forever. Thank You xx
