'Tom Baxter, who co-wrote and recorded the modern day classic 'Better', is to unveil Davey Graham's blue plaque, assisted by a child from Bosworth and Hinckley based 'Jam Music School'. 'Carol Ballard, partner of the late Davey Graham, said: "The only music Davey listened to on the afternoon of his passing - 15 December 2008 - was by Tom Baxter. It is fitting that the musician who gave comfort to Davey in his final hours, be present at a commemoration of his birth." 'Tom Baxter, who will perform at the Tithe Barn, Bosworth Battlefield on the evening of the unveiling said: "What a great honor to be asked to represent Davey Graham. My father introduced me to Davey's music when I was around 13 and as I made my first explorations into the possibilites of how I could use the guitar in a more interesting way - Graham's influence was at the forefront of that expansion for me." 'Directly after the unveiling ceremony, Tom Baxter will introduce a concert inside Bosworth Hall featuring children from Jam Music School and their tutors. The children will play selected songs that Davey Graham either wrote or had an influence on.' http://www.cherrytreecarol.co.uk/ |

From an idea on Mudcat we have managed to get this to happen . What a wonderful thing. We were at a Session in Hinckley one evening and we asked if the keen young Guitarists had come across Davey's music. A few deft taps on their I Phones and they were well and truly hooked. The next time we were there they were playing Davey's Tunes |
