The Album "When Life Goes Blank" is a collection of 12 songs taken from lifes everyday happenings. The Good, the bad and the indifferent.

"The Land That I Was Born Apon" was inspired by the plight of scotsman Kenny Richie who has served 21 years in Ohio on death row for a crime he swears he did not commit. We are pleased to learn of his release on the 20th December 2007. (details can be found on the UPDATE page at www.grahamdeanmusic.com)
But also aa song with meaning for anyone who is away from home for whatever reason.

"Why" the question always asked when a love affair or relationship breaks up.

"Forget about Yesterday" time to move on and leave the past behind and so the album continues.

The past to the present......
After aspirations during his school days of being a professional cricket player Graham saw a band called The Beatles one evening on TV. This sparked an interest in music and he started to learn the guitar.

After a short spell in local schoolboy bands graham joined forces with Ronnie Nelson, Alan Bentley and Jammy (Treble) Lowe to form a band in the early 70,s called Funny Feeling.

This band toured the British Isles extensively and also performed a six-week season at the Burnham Court Hotel, Guernsey.

When Funny Feeling disbanded in the mid 70,s Graham and Ronnie continued as a duo playing pubs, clubs and hotels in the local area. Work was good and as a duo called the Dean Brothers played over 300 gigs a year thro to the mid 1980,s.

In 1984 illness forced Graham to retire from the music scene, but after recovery Graham meet and joined forces with Gary Sandywell and Steven McNichlas to form the band No Barriers.

They initially played only self-penned material in many local venues with a recording deal in the offing.

This unfortunately fell thro when once again illness struck a band member and the publishing companies involved decided to shelve the idea.

The band at this point decided to learn a cover show and embarked on making a living touring.

With successful auditions in Birmingham the band performed a six-week season in Norway followed by many trips to Germany, Belgium and Holland.

This continued until 93 when after a short spell in the duo No Bother Graham decided to try life as a solo artist.

Once again this involved extensively touring England, Scotland and Wales. This has continued up to the present day, although traveling has been reduced recently with an abundance of work in the local and Greater Manchester Areas. Also the ever increasing fuel charges from our good friend Gorden also contributed.

During the last two years Graham has started writing some of his own material once again and has produced nearly two albums worth of new songs.
