I love Go West. I'm listening to Dancing On The Couch now after reading this thread.

Forgot to bump this for the anniversary yesterday

Saw him with Level42 when Boon Gould quit, not long before he died.

Yes, should not be forgotten. One of the all time greats. His playing made a huge impact on me. Saw him many times with SFX.

Still listening to this man every once in a while

stratman3142 · October 2017

Yes good to remember him. I still use the main riff to Six-Eight as an exercise.

Phenomenal guitarist taken away , way too early.

such a shame.

does anyone know how he contracted HIV? There's very little out there around this (not that it matters....)

As you said, it doesn't matter and let's not go there. It's out there, if you want to read about it and it's not hidden.

Nice to see this thread bumped.
A reminder of what a superb guitarist he was and what a terrible loss to our little world his death was.

My little anecdote , i was playing a session date a long time ago with someone who worked directly with alan.i said how much i admired him as a player and asked a couple of questions , she refused to eloborate shook her head and said "silly boy ,so sad " it felt really awkward so that was that ....

love the sfx cd too , also i used to have a live level 42 video that was rather good ...
