Graham Seaton

Hope Fm Studio, Bournemouth

Local musician Graham Seaton and his brother started out their gigging life playing in a garage band called “The Next” with Ringo Starr’s son Zac Starkey after finding out they were neighbours in Surrey in the 1980’s. A brave knock on the door of Zac’s home lead to a jam and the forming of a band that played a host of gigs around the area with the promise of bigger things to come.

Things did not work out for the band and they sadly split after a short time together. Zac famously went on to play drums for The Who, The Icicle Works, The Lightning Seeds, Johnny Marr and with his Dad in Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band. The band gave Graham a huge insatiable appetite for music and he began with his huge collection of guitars to work on his own original music.

Graham has a complete passion for music and after this early taste of the musical high life he has continued to make and perform music to just about anyone who will listen, and can usually be found performing at a host of local venues at open mic sessions and jams.
