[1] Graham Ord was born in Colchester Essex into a musical family and began song writing as early as 5 years old.

He began playing the guitar in his early teens, being taught by his Father and also various music teachers at night school and private lessons.

In the early 1980s, he made the move to London where he lived briefly in Chelsea and later in Hatfield, eventually settling in St Albans.

The Wesley Brothers performed regularly on the North London pub circuit and recorded their debut Fill Me Up which charted in 1996.[where?]

Shortly after the Wesley's signed with Alliance Media the band broke up and Graham went on to record a solo project entitled 'Cryin' Freedom' again with Martin Smith producing and featuring Marc James on lead guitar and Jimmy the Skin Cooke on drums (now with Vera Cruz).
