David Graham

My guest on this weeks episode of One For The Road is Dave Graham. David is a professional musician and touring saxophonist with 1970s chart-toppers Showaddywaddy, a role he’s proudly held since 2009. Classically trained at the Royal Northern College of Music and the University of Manchester, Dave has built a career spanning over 30 years, performing across the UK and Europe. Alongside his performance work, Dave spent over a decade as a music teacher, sharing his passion and expertise with students of all ages. He also founded and directed DG Music, one of the UK’s leading music agencies, for 20 years—helping secure work for thousands of musicians nationwide. A committed community member, Dave has volunteered on the boards of several charities and organisations over the years.

Now 54, he focuses on touring with Showaddywaddy and dedicates his weekdays to looking after both body and mind—keeping fit, working on his mental wellbeing, and maintaining a sober lifestyle since January 2024.
