Eve Graham (born Evelyn May Beatson; 19 April 1943) is a retired Scottish singer who found fame in the early 1970s with the pop group The New Seekers.

Biography

Graham began her career during the 1960s as a band singer with the Cyclones in Scotland and later with the Cyril Stapleton Band, based in London, England. She joined The Track in the mid-sixties and was a founding member of The Nocturnes, originally alongside Sandra Stevens (later of Brotherhood of Man) and then Lyn Paul (her future colleague in The New Seekers), recording for UK Columbia Records between 1967 and 1969.

In 2005, former New Seekers record producer David Mackay produced a new album with her The Mountains Welcome Me Home. It was released as a CD and DVD, and contained Scottish traditional songs and new recordings of New Seekers songs. A Christmas themed album, Til The Season Comes Round Again, followed in 2006.

She lived in Abernethy, Perthshire with her husband, who worked for a kitchen and bathroom design company. He died on 22 February 2016 after a short illness.

Graham told The Independent that owing to contractual problems she has not received any royalties since 1973.
