Day, Graham -& The Forefathers-
Good Things
Reissue of the 2014 'almost live' collection of greatest hits and misses from more than thirty years of the Graham Day
songbook - with three extra tracks. Out of print since 2015.
The crucial ingredients of The Prisoners, Prime Movers, Solarflares and The Gaolers extracted and squeezed into one
stripped down power trio... Graham Day, Allan Crockford and Wolf Howard have been intermittently blasting out their
muscular version of Medway garage-rock in various combinations and guises over a period of more than 30 years, releasing
dozens of albums between them. Graham and Allan were in The Prisoners (82-86), before forming The Prime Movers with Wolf
in 1988, releasing 3 albums before they split in 1993. The trio were re-united in 1999 as the Solarflares, releasing
another 5 albums until once again calling it a day in 2004. They also found time to play in various pairings over that
period in the original line-up of The James Taylor Quartet and Goodchilde (Allan and Wolf), and Billy Childish's Buff
Medways (Graham and Wolf). These days Graham and Wolf also play cinematic instrumentals in The Senior Service, and Allan
leads psych-popsters The Galileo 7 (both bands also on Damaged Goods). The three re-united as a live band in 2013. The
Forefathers formed around the idea that the time was right for rifling through the Graham Day Songbook and delivering a
'best of...' set: stripped down live versions of the best of The Prisoners, The Prime Movers, The Solarflares and
Graham's most recent band, The Gaolers.
