Summary

This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we are delighted to welcome a true legend to the show. Musician, singer and songwriter Graham Nash.

It’s impossible to understate his impact on the music we love and the influence he has had on us and so many others. We could do a whole episode on his time with The Hollies, let alone Crosby, Stills and Nash and another on Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

With tales that stretch from Manchester to Laurel Canyon, from Mama Cass to Joni Mitchell, from David Gilmour to Graham Gouldman. This is a special one.

Graham is touring the UK in October and you can find out more at: www.grahamnash.com/tour

0:26.6	Graham Nash.
0:27.6	Yeah, I know, I kind of got it wrong.

0:36.5	Fake news.
0:38.5	I fear.
0:40.0	But an extraordinary career going, you know, back to 1964 with the Hollies and being in that sort of beat group that was, you know, found at the cavern and coming out of Manchester, of course, but still being part of that sort of first British invasion.
0:58.2	And everything that the hollies...
1:00.6	I mean, if we were just doing a show and he'd only ever done the hollies,
1:04.1	it would be enough.
1:05.2	Yeah.
1:05.7	The fact that he jumped from that into this sort of embryonic Laurel Canyon world and then was an absolute bedrock
1:13.6	of that because no one else did to think about it. There was no one else, no other Brits there.
1:18.7	Yeah, I can't think, I suppose, you know, the Beatles were in San Francisco and doing the thing,
