GRAHAM BELLINGER
Folk, blues, country
Singer, songwriter, guitarist
I'm gradually adding to this list - I'd like to get it as far back and as accurate as I can. The search for old diaries continues..........
Past live dates
Numerous floor spots all over the place since 1972 are not listed!
I have very few records of dates and no diaries before the 1980s.
I attempted to play guitar in groups in my college days from about 1970; Ern Heatley, Bill Johnson, Phil Wallbank, Vince Thacker and I had lots of fun making tapes and larking about at a couple of startled folk clubs. I also fancied myself as a folk and blues man solo and with Simon Brown from about the same time.
From 1973 - 1975 I played with Geoff Cater and Phil Andrews around Devizes and at various Devizes School events. We played at BBC Radio Bristol twice in March 1975 both times with Andy Sheppard. He went on to become deservedly famous. We didn't.
In 1979 Ian Hankinson and I formed a duo 'Behind the Times' and played a bit around the West Midlands. Vince Thacker and Neil Robinson were occasional participants too. Ian and I have played together infrequently ever since.
There were quite a lot of gigs but the few dates I can be certain of are:
1973
July 11th – Devizes School Summer Folk Concert
1974
July 12th - – Devizes School Summer Folk Concert
December 1st – Devizes School PTA Social
