  • yh i was in the crowd yh yh XD

  • Miss the ole bugger, still, Thanks for great tea, the best sandwiches, and the company of one of the kindest souls it was ever my privelage to call friend.

  • Heard this song YEARS ago on "Live at the 101 Club" and been looking for it ever since. This man was brilliant. Thanks for the posting.

  • I played support for Al a few times at the cooperage plymouth, He was painfully unrecognised by all but those local to him. A true star and when you look at what 'makes it' nowadays it is a travesty, but I think he enjoyed his life and what a talent to call his own for a while. rip Al

  • Many thanks for posting these video's. I'm still reeling to find that Al has gone. I hadn't had contact since 2005, and had planned to go see him the next time I went to Cornwall. Just shows you shouldn't put these things off. He was a great inspiration to me as a young guitarist, always prepared to show me something on the guitar if I asked. Invitied me to his home and to the Sawmill studio, was a great day. Still trying to catch up with his guitar playing after 25 years! A huge loss for Kernow

  • Awesome, Haven't heard this track in over 20 years. I remember my dad supporting them in Perenporth, I played trumpet mentored by another lost hero Spike in Jack Russell and the Terriers. Anyway, when they came on they were so powerful, so loud!

    Even though I was underage at the time I still remember them as being one of the most energetic bands of my early years, I even remember that great Roland Chorus sound he used to use, and here it is - proof!

    Thanks for this great memory.

  • Anai's dad on bass... WOOT WOOT!!

  • So moving to see this. Miss Al so much!!!

  • Al was the Man!!! Still greatly missed! x

  • Anais pops kiiiiiiiiilin it on bass!!
