Graham is unaware of this event - we hope he will enjoy the surprise.  Please help us keep it under wraps!

Graham Howell began his musical career as a chorister at Westminster Abbey, where he sang at the late Queen's Silver Jubilee. He then headed to Ardingly College as a music scholar before studying music at Durham University. In 1986, he came to Cothill and the rest as they say is history. Forty years on and he is still working with the same vim and vigour with which he began. His ability to craft arrangements to suit the children in front of him is legendary and these pieces would fill endless volumes. The quiet, gentle impact he has had on generations of musicians, whether they've pursued it beyond Cothill or not, is quite remarkable. Understated in everything he does his musicianship is beyond superlatives. Cothill has been lucky to have such a loyal and talented servant for so long.
