He then began working in original and covers bands and developing his pianistic skills in different styles.

At this time Graham began teaching piano on a regular basis.

Moving to Perth and while playing solo piano, he joined a composite covers / original band and toured Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland over a 7 month period.

Returning to Melbourne he joined several bands before forming a very successful covers band “Wizards”

After that Graham released an original relaxation album  "Earth’s Wish" – later called  "Once Upon a Moment” that received regular TV / airplay on SBS TV. It's now a video titled "Tranquil Moments in Time".

Later he formed a jazz/ rock /blues/ fusion original band "Vertigo4" where Graham was the songwriter, and the band received some radio exposure on PBS radio in Melbourne.
