Graham Franklin

Starting his musical career in the mid-late 1980s, Graham was a member of Oxford based rock band Shake Appeal (4). He was the original singer, playing along alongside his brother; Adam Franklin, Adi Vines, Jim Hartridge and Patrick Pulzer. Shake Appeal (4) were highly influenced by the Stooges, MC5 and 1960s garage punk. The band dissolved in 1989 and the majority of the members went on to form the more contemporary sounding Swervedriver. Still in 1989, Graham got together with Charlie Clarke, Kerry Palmer and Nick Wenham to start Dimension 5, one of the first ever Goa Trance groups. Dimension 5 started releasing Vinyl in 1995 on their labels, first on D5 Records and later on label Intastella Records. Dimension 5 did not release any new music after 2000 until the release of TransStellar on 22 February 2013. During the twelve years of Dimension 5's absence, Graham has been involved in a few small projects. Most recently he has been the lead singer for The One Footers, a Rock covers band from Poole, Dorset.
