I'm surprised nobody mentioned the passing of this guitar great the other day. He certainly was an amazing guitarist in the late sixties early seventies with Ten Years After.
Another one gone sadly :(

Yes indeed - very sad news.

I saw them 5 times and still have all their albums and singles on vinyl (including I'm Goin Home!!). For me this was the most exciting blues rock band of that era, especially live - electrifying solos and very well/cleverly constructed. And Leo Lyons was the person who inspired me to learn bass.

So very shocking news and makes me feel ancient!!

I hadn't heard about this.
RIP Alvin.
