| "SEE THE FREEDOM"
"Communicate Please" "The Irish Song" at the Bimu Peace Festival September 2007 "On The Road To Nowhere" Bimu Peace Festival - Headling!!! Quote from Mike Scott - The Waterboys "I always want an ever changing band playing with different musicians". Graham has been playing music for almost 20 years,playing on the street all over 38 European Countries,and playing in the Singer/Songwriter clubs in West London.Then he moved to Graz in Austria,and met other musicians,and has made several bands/projects,musicians to play with.Has giged in Many Countries in Europe including Germany,Czech Republic , Austria ,Turkey, Croatia,Bosnia,Ireland U.K. and even N. Ireland. Graham has made 4 solo albums,about love,war,travelling,destruction of the North American Indians,Ireland,The Great Hungar in 1845 - 1849.Graham has had much inspiration from many things,like Ireland (Spiddal Town , Staring At The Sea , Rain In Ireland and Sligo Town),and reading books like "The Great Hunger",by Cecil Woodman-Smith,(No Potatoes)and "The Mist Of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradly (I"m Feeling Free).From Mike Scott of The Waterboys,who is Graham"s favourite band.Travelling all over Europe is a big inspiration.(Spring Is Coming,Road To Nowhere,and Freeworld). Since 2003 when Freespirit started,with Graham (Vocal,12 String Guitar Mandolin,Bouzouki,Mouth Harmonica). Freespirit has had many musicians,we have been on the road in Austria,Switzerland (2005),Ireland(2006,2007),Germany(2006,2007),Holland (2006),Croatia (2007) and next year (2008) to France (January) U.K. (February) Germany (April) Ireland (July),and maybe at the end of 2008 we coming to the U.S.A. After a few violin players David joined Freespirit in October 2003,and now 4 years later in the same month he has left to do his own music projects,although he said "He be back sometime,maybe a years brake". Together in 2004 we made our first Freespirit cd,"Communicate Please",with 19 songs about Ireland and travelling. Josephine,started being the driver,and selling the merchandise,in 2005,and our first tour out of Austria to Switzerland.Josephine started to learn the Bass Guitar,and pick up on the Mandolin,and by the January Germany Tour 2007,had mastered the bass to play her first Tour,and she also played Mandolin on our 2nd Ireland Tour of that year. In 2006 we met Rüdiger,who started out playing Mandolin,Mandola,but soon felt he wanted to play drums also,and so Rüdiger joined our September Germany and Holland Tour 2006 playing some drums.We now had a full band,but because of family commitment Rüdiger left,and David,Joey and Graham had to do the January Germany 2007 alone. 2007 we have met Mario who played drums on a few gigs,and now Morris,who is from Holland,and has play recently played some gigs,and I hope will carry on with Freespirit.We have also done some "LIVE" studio recording with Morris,which will hopefully turn into a new Freespirit cd sometime. Now David has left,we now have been searching for another violin player.Lou played with us in Graz,but wasn"t suitable,and so the last gig in Bad Sauerbrunn Sybelle who played with (The Sick Notes),has joined Freespirit.We will see what the fucture holds. In the past on Tour in Ireland and Germany,we have met other musicians,like Dave,who we met in Ireland in Dublin,who plays Banjo,Mandolin,and Guitar,and he will be joining us on our U.K Tour in February.Also Perciphone who we met in Ireland,is very interested to play with us on our U.K. Tour,and maybe the next Germany Tour in April.
