Excellant news - a talented musician. I always enjoyed his contribution to The Shadows - without checking my files, I believe he contributed "New Earth" on Hank's Guitar Syndicate LP? (and too much more to list here).
(apologies if I have miss-remembered)

Kindest regards,
Christopher

Yes, New Earth (parts I and II) is Alan's. This tune was sampled by rapper Jay-Z for one of his songs.

Sadly, as Denis pointed out, we have now lost Alan.

R.I.P. Alan, thank you for the music.
