​​This web site is published in honour and in memory of Graham, friend and great character, to mark his sad passing in 1999, and to bring attention to his gifted musical legacy. Acknowledgements to Terry Aldridge (Graham's Cousin) for his help and assistance, and for providing archival information, anecdotal accounts, and biographical text, and to Graham's good friend Marc Tuddenham (pictured next to Graham on the background image ), for assistance in compiling biographical information.

Graham's extraordinary musical life started at the age of 4 when his Father, Jack Hunt, an accomplished pianist/composer, took him to see a band at the Trades Hall in Portsmouth , and encouraged him to play drums and the xylophone. Sadly his father died at the age of 42 and his music teacher, Ken Williams, became a surrogate father, mentor, and great influence. Graham was also devoted to his mother, who he nursed through ill health in later life. He quickly mastered both instruments and began to appear on stage in local performances often featuring as the main attraction. In 1956 he played xylophone in an " All Your Own" BBC broadcast. Later in life, Graham played in many bands in the Portsmouth area including Aubrey Small, who went on to sign a recording contract and to make an LP and Single and to be featured in BBC Sound of the Seventies broadcasts. He also became accomplished on guitar and keyboards during this period.

In addition, Graham was a prolific singer songwriter , and since his sad passing has left a significant legacy of songs, thanks to Mick Cooper, some of which are featured on this site.
