Black and White Black and White
From the CD Black and White Days. A look back to the days in the 1960s when I started to learn to play the guitar, and much else besides.
Payday Payday
The original 'folk' version of a Root Chords rocker from the cassette After the Tone, now on Black & White Days
Lost Horizon Lost Horizon
Originally on the cassette 'After the Tone', now on 'Black & White Days', this is my song for guitar obsessives everywhere.
Doghouse Roses Doghouse Roses
Cry in your beer country music from the Cheshire Plain. The title, of course, comes from Steve Earle (we are not worthy). Another Black & White Days track.

Welcome to my page. It will contain my own recordings of my own songs.
There will also be some recordings with my old partners, Steve Goodchild (who now lives in Canada) and the Deacons - we were a popular West Midlands folk group in the 1980s and still get together once in a very blue moon.
I am based in Chester UK and play every week in the city at Alexanders as well as other gigs around the area.
For recordings by my current bands 'Root Chords' and 'Deportees' please go to www.soundclick.com/rootchords or for more information about me or the bands go to our website www.grahambellinger.jimdo.com, www.deportees.jimdo.com and www.rootchords.jimdo.com
Hope you enjoy something you find here - do let me know.Have you performed in front of an audience?Sure do. It's what I play for - I find recording a rather lonely and unreal experience. It's making the audience part of the gig that I love.

Well, Graham, this is a treat--two of my personal heros, guitar-wise, too.
Nice playing, man.
Cheers,
MH
