Graham Nash talks exclusively to The National about his upcoming Glasgow show, his latest album Now and the legacy he wants to leave behind.
history that have achieved the legacy that Graham Nash has over his long and illustrious career. The music legend has been twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as co-founder of both The Hollies and Crosby, Stills and Nash, sold tens of millions of records and was a central figure of the 1960s/70s rock scene that defined a generation.
There is also a focus on the environmental crisis, which Nash describes as “the biggest problem ever facing humanity". Whether it is through love songs or political messages, there is a directness and profound sense of urgency to Now. This could be because as Nash gets older he is becoming more aware of his own mortality, especially following“Every day I think about dying,” said Nash. “We just lost my best friend David [Crosby], he was 81 and I’m 81. I know that I’m coming towards the end of my life. I certainly hope that I’m around for at least another 20 years but chances are that soon I will pass.
“When I get asked what would be my epitaph on my grave, I would only like it to say ‘Graham Nash - I tried my very best.’”In support of his latest album, Nash brings his Sixty Years of Songs and Stories Tour across the UK, including a date at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall on September 21.in his career, Nash gets equal excitement from performing new songs and classics like Our House and Teach Your Children, which he has been performing for over 50 years.
“[When I come back] I feel very warm inside. When CSNY played the last show of their 1974 stadium tour at Wembley Stadium and I got to do Our House by myself and I had 90,000 people singing and clapping, there was a homecoming feeling. However, it is the more intimate venues that the singer-songwriter enjoys performing in the most and he enjoys the personal connection with the crowd which can’t be replicated in the bigger stages.
