Oh, so sad. These things are obviously becoming more regular events because of passing years, but they still jab and jar

Absolutely Billy - the video clip of Allan playing with The Softs is very early in his career
Even as a fledgling he was superb

RIP. Sad to hear that he's passed. No word on his cause of death yet either.

That shouldn't happen to anyone as illustrious as Holdsworth (or even anyone at all, I suppose). I wonder why people couldn't have raised money for him while he was alive, but I don't suppose I really know what I'm talking about.

I've hardly heard anything by him outside of UK. I'll have to remedy that.
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?
