As we were mentioning Roxy Music through Phil Manzanera’s 'Diamond Head' and the line up after Brian Eno’s leaving, I noticed a reference to bass player Graham Simpson who it is said started Roxy Music with Bryan Ferry before Eno, Phil and Andy and I looked him up as I hadn’t heard of him. This is sad but worth a read . . . .
Andy (I guess), Brian and Graham on SG bass
Brian Ferry’s webpage has a profile which is well worth a read and worth knowing . . . . .a fellow art student at Newcastle under the tutelage of Richard Hamilton [and fellow student Rita Donagh who went on to be Richard’s partner and wonderful artist in her own right], Graham seems to have been an entirely supportive and encouraging voice to Ferry when he was somewhat less self assured. It seems only fair to share this link
