| The history of Blur can be traced
back to 1980 when Damon Albarn (b.1968) and Graham
Coxon (b.1969) met as schoolboys at Stanway
Comprehensive School in Colchester, Essex, where
they sang together in the choir. Both were drawn to
music. Damon, a Londoner by birth, was the son of
Keith Albarn, a former luminary of England's
late-1960's psychedelic rock. Arriving in Colchester
in the late '70's, young Damon began studying music.
Coxon, who was born on an airbase in Germany, was
also the son of a musician. He moved to Colchester
in 1977 and was encouraged to learn the saxophone
and guitar at Stanway. Alex James grew up in
Bournemouth on England's south coast, coming to
London in the late '80's to study at Goldsmith's
College, where he first met Coxon.
