Guitarist/singer/songwriter Graham Foster's musical career began in 1972 as bass player with acclaimed London-based jazz pianist Brian Morris's trio, lasting two years (and over 500 performances). He then switched to his main instrument, the electric guitar, to concentrate on his own blues/rock trio The Roadsters (later Blitz), showcasing his instrumental and songwriting talent and making a name for himself throughout the London area in the process.
In 1976 he was "discovered" playing at the Marquee Club and signed to Elton John's Rocket record label, and had his first taste of success with the self-penned blues ballad "Count Me Out" from the album "On The Line", which reached the number one spot on the Capital Radio charts in the summer of 1977. This was closely followed by a second single "Make-Believin" which surprisingly made it to the number two spot in Peru. His group, The Foster Brothers, included his brother Malcolm (later to become bassist for The Pretenders and Simple Minds) and Robbie McIntosh (guitarist for Paul McCartney, Norah Jones, John Mayer and many others). The album was produced by Mike Vernon, known for his collaborations with John Mayall, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac and Freddie King amongst others.
In the early 90s Graham teamed up with Stretch bassist Steve Emery and Wings drummer Geoff Britton to form The Major Blues Band. The trio's frequent visits to Spain, coupled with the success of their 1992 LP "Solid", secured them a national cult following. Following this Graham decided to spend longer periods in Spain and in 1994 formed Graham Foster's Night Train, accompanied by three young Valencian musicians, touring extensively and recording the album "Blue Rhythm" with them the following year.
