Between 1975 and 1995, English guitarists Graham Oliver and Paul Quinn played together in the legendary NWOBHM band Saxon. The two musicians played together on numerous tours and on albums such as Saxon, Wheels of Steel, Strong Arm of the Law and Denim and Leather.

Graham Olivers Army is the successor to Oliver/Dawson Saxon. The band changed names when former Saxon bassist Steve Dawson retired a couple of years ago. In addition to Graham Oliver himself, still in the band are Gav Coulson (formerly of the backing band of John Verity, ex-guitarist of Argent) on guitar and lead vocalist Brian Shaughnessy (Seventh Son). New in the band are bassist Jamie Mallender (from ex-Black Sabbath vocalist Tony Martins solo band and who has also played with John Verity) and Rod Fearnley on drums (who has played in Shield of Steel with Gav Coulson). Graham Olivers Army is a solid band that can deliver the classic Saxon catalogue as we want it to sound. Adding Saxon legend Paul Quinn to an already great band (which takes the number of guitarists in the band to three!) means it's going to be a special night.
