On Wire's first studio album Graham Lewis was credited as
Lewis; he continued to be known by this abbreviation; however some subsequent record credits give his full name. Graham studied textiles at Middlesex Polytechnic in London in the early seventies. He later switched to fashion but formed the band before he was able to have a substantial career in this world. The time at art school influenced his later music as he was able to attend performances by a range of bands (usually pub bands) such as
Kilburn and the High Roads,
the Ramones, and
Dr. Feelgood. He has worked on other projects, such as
Dome (with fellow Wire member
B.C. Gilbert), and released their first album
First Fits in November 2019. Lewis lives in
Uppsala, Sweden. ==References==
