His stints included Flash Harry (82 - 86) as well as the enormously popular & successful Melodic Hard Rock Band, Ice Tiger (87 - 92), gaining recognition in Australia, Europe and Japan. Graham continues to entertain people with his fretboard agility & melodic compositions while continuing to gain recognition world wide.

An experience not to be missed.
