LEGENDARY songwriter and producer Graham Dee is performing in Wimborne on Saturday in aid of Record Store Day.

He will be performing at Square Records at 3pm.

On the same day Dee is releasing his new single Duckin’ n’ Divin’, a limited edition 10” vinyl.

This is the first single to be taken from his forthcoming album of fresh new songs The Thirteenth Man, to be released through Tin-Kan Records on June 2.

Duckin’ n’ Divin’ is a classic pop song, infused with upbeat, soulful vocals and an infectious rhythmic salsa-rock sway.

This year is the seventh Record Store Day – celebrating the UK’s independent sector.

It is the one day when all independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music.

Dee was a pivotal figure on the London 60s music scene and was friends with Steve Marriott and, after playing guitar in the last line up of Marriott’s Moments, he went on to play rhythm guitar on The Small Faces’ first single as a session musician.

He also played live with bands as diverse as Them, The Gass, The Walker Brothers and even a few dates with Pink Floyd during one of Syd Barrett’s legendary off spells in early 1967. Dee said: “It’s a contradiction, not wanting to ‘duck and dive’ to get what you want, but needing to do it anyway.

“It’s about accepting this contradiction and not giving up.”

Among Dee’s most renowned work was with the band The Fleur de Lys and soul singer Sharon Tandy.

His song, Two Can Make It Together, released in 1969 by Tony and Tandy, has enjoyed cult status for years but its use on a TV advert in 2009 established it as a neglected 60s classic.

Inspired in recent years by the release of The Graham Dee Connection; an album consisting of his compositions and productions from the 60s and 70s, Graham took up his guitar and began composing songs for his new album The Thirteenth Man.
