The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so it's all a bit weird.

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

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.

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

I went to see John Mayall at the Marquee, with Peter Green on guitar, and that was a particularly good gig.

I think a lot of modern day guitarists start off playing like Eddie van Halen, and they don't take the time to learn the basics.

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.
