From Moroccan prisons to Sufism to Don Juan and heavy doses of Nepalese Oil, Graham Simpson was the one that got away. Despite leaving Roxy Music in 1972 Simpson is still described as "The best bassist Roxy ever had". And who to this day has still not been replaced by Ferry. Even over 40 years later, this self-described "Young-upstart" is still longed for by Roxy Music fans globally - who cite his "Melodic bass lines" as being a "Key ingredient" to what made the early Roxy Music sound so "Intriguing". Notes so "Lyrical" they simply evaded being boxed in traditional musical methods. Experimental - just like the man who played them. A man who re-invented the box then left it in the corner, watching it burn. Who was so high he was never able to "Handle the environment on earth.' Just as his notes rose to Shangrila - so did Simpson. Taking advantage of 'The migration of a flock of wild birds' he left one of the U.K's most influential bands, went through "A dozen passports", traveling continents in search of "The Truth". Myths and Legends follow this man. A modern Lord Lucan who has left the world somewhat quiet as to the whereabouts of the elusive musical genius. Why did he leave Roxy Music when he did? Did he have stage fright? How does Simpson's story come full circle to the band he once called "Poxy Music" - to find redemption through the eyes of the camera of two young guerilla filmmakers? Simpson was a breath away from being a world renowned bass player and leaves a powerful legacy from one seminal album. Mighty seeks to reinstate Graham Simpson to the world renowned bass player he could have been and give him the standing ovation he never got to hear.... There can only be one place for a man like this.... Ladbroke Grove, London... Written by Miranda Little
