I strongly encourage listening to the radio to hear something you haven't heard before. It's a very healthy thing to do. It's strange: unless you reload your iPods every couple of weeks, you're listening to and recycling the same music all of the time. I'm serious. Listen to your radio station.

From Alvin Lee

It's always been something I've been searching for - freedom. It's a very relative thing. It means different things to different people.

From Alvin Lee

We used to play the underground clubs like the UFO, and Middle Earth, and they were great because they would have on things like a poet, string quartets, and then a rock band! It was kinda cool!

From Alvin Lee

They have decided to tour under the name of Ten Years After which I don't think is very cool. To be honest, they have had to do that as it's the only way they can get any work.

There is a big age gap between my sisters Janice and Irma and myself so I didn't know them that well when I was younger although they have been very supportive in later life.

From Alvin Lee

From Alvin Lee

Strangely enough, through all those school years I decided at 13 or 14 I was going to be a musician and so school was just something to get out of the way, a waste of time and not to bother with it.

From Alvin Lee

So if you see Ten Years After, it's not me anymore. I'm very happy with what I am doing now.

From Alvin Lee

It will be the first time I've played live with a double bass.
