about

After experimenting wildly on previous singles released in the early 80s, Graham penned a clutch of personal, thoughtful songs more rooted in his own experience. It became the LP, Love at the Hacienda.

Everyday tales of loss and yearning ride on a bed of lushly chiming guitars and Juno 60 synthwash. Singalong tunes and finely wrought lyrics which indulge Fellows’s passion for the mundane and the everyday. 'Seven Pints and a Suicide' was performed on a Kids TV show at the time, and Chappell Music awarded Graham a 3 year publishing contract after hearing this record. But the comedy world beckoned and Graham turned his back on a pop career.

In recent years Love at the Hacienda’s cache has steadily grown and recently 2nd hand copies have changed hands for over £200. An indie pop masterpiece which few had the chance to hear the first time round, it is now reissued with extra tracks.

Picture In Mind

This is music that softly, gently, melodically improves the atmosphere. I first heard Rachel via The Dolly Mixture. That music helped me find beauty while living in a rough childhood home. I later ran away, taking my Dolly Mixture cassette with me. Many decades on, life's difficult, the world is troubled, but Rachel's music once again adds an element of beauty. Her music is something to cherish. Cheers, Rachel. Andy Waltzer
