Subject: RE: new venue.. who would you book?(UK)
Well, I beg do differ on Graeme, GUEST, officianado (sic), and mainly on two points: a) Graeme does not sing in a trio with Jim and Johnny, J&J have their harmonies worked out over the years and Graeme would only join in a singaround (as indeed would I and many others); and b) Graeme's material overlaps a little, but is mostly quite different to J&J's, having a much higher music hall and contemporary content.

Graemes material or characteristically jokey delivery may be not your cup of tea, and I have no issue with that - though personally I do like him. But he and J&J have been good mates for years (Graeme and Johnny are both residents at Herga, remember, and they live a stone's throw from each other) - nobody's hanging onto anyone's shirt tails there, just good mates and they help each other at gigs sometimes. But they mostly get their own separate gigs; and they both get plenty.
