Sad news for me, he was my Guitar hero, has died aged 68.

The lead guitarist who formed Ten Years After. A very underrated, and sadly ignored guitarist. At the height of his fame, when TYA were at their peak, a band who toured the USA more than any other british band, including the Beatles He turned his back on fame and fortune, in an interview he said he did not want to be a superstar, he just wanted to play music, and that when he left this planet, he simply wished to be remembered as a musician.

Lets hope hIs wishes come true.

RIP Alvin, and thank you for some wonderful music, you're Going home Alvin.


Going Home
