Nick Graham is a British vocalist, songwriter, flautist, pianist and bassist. He was one of the original members of the English progressive rock band Atomic Rooster from 1969 to 1970.[1][2] He is sometimes mistakenly named as a member of the End and Tucky Buzzard, but that was a different musician with a similar name.
Career
Graham founded Atomic Rooster with Vincent Crane and Carl Palmer in 1969, and appeared on the first album. He then joined Skin Alley, with whom he performed on three albums before leaving in 1974. He then toured with Edwin Starr.
In 1977, Graham formed Alibi, as a songwriting project with drummer Tony Knight, who was replaced by Charlie Morgan. The group recorded an album produced by Muff Winwood and Rhett Davies which was never released. It was re-recorded with Chris Rea as producer in 1980, and the song "Friends" was a radio hit.
In 1985, Graham performed as part of the Explorers with former Roxy Music members Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay. He subsequently began songwriting for other artists, including the Cheap Trick hit single "The Flame" with Bob Mitchell in 1988, as well as "Remember My Name" for House of Lords, which reached No. 72 on the Hot 100 in 1990.
He has since performed with David Jackson, Jess Roden, the Reduced Shakespeare Company and the Jim Capaldi Band.
