Ten Years After will remember frontman Alvin Lee

ten_years_afterThe blues-rock legend Ten Years After is coming to Prague on the 7th of October, organised by International Bluenights. In 1967, four young musicians from Nottinghamshire, England, Leo Lyons, Ric Lee, and Chick Churchill together with Alvin Lee, formed Ten Years After and became one of the biggest names and the most explosive quartet on the world stage. Their now legendary encore, I’m Going Home performed at The Woodstock Music and Arts Festival in August 1969, was captured on film and exposed their jazz, blues, rock amalgam to a large audience who were blown away by the intensity of the band’s performance when the Academy Award winning documentary was released. Their ten-minute appearance in the film is an acknowledged highlight and established Ten Years After a place in rock history. Between 1967 and 1974, Ten Years After recorded and released ten multi-million selling albums. Sadly, Alvin Lee decided to go solo in 1975 and the group ceased touring and recording. However, there has always been a demand for Ten Years After and by public request, the band is back together. With new member, sensational guitarist/vocalist Joe Gooch, they are recreating the music, energy and excitement they’ve been known for over the past four decades. In Prague they are like at home, the last time they played in 2004. This year in March the band reached sad news about the sudden death of former member Alvin Lee, the Prague concert will be a memorial concert for this talented guitarist and great musician.
