Graham Smith Violin
"Presently, the group is composed of Graham Smith, Nick Potter, Charles Dickie, Guy Evans, and myself. Graham is from String Driven Thing. He has already been first chair violin for the Scottish Philharmonic Orchestra, and second chair for the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. For seven or eight months he was a member of several prestigious orchestras like these until he realised that he was not fulfilling his true role as a musician. That's why he joined VdG." - Peter Hammill in an interview, Canada June 1978.
