10 Years After

I've just been flicking through my usual pile of half read newspapers over a few cups of tea and noticed an obituary for yet another 70s rock musician. There seems to be one nearly every week and sometimes their passing encourages me to use one of their tracks as a soundtrack for one of my films.

This time it was the other way around. On 2 March I used Alvin's Lee's composition "Gonna Run" and four days later he died. He was the lead guitarist in one of the Isle of Wight festival successes named Ten Years After.

As a tribute, here is the result of the 20 Mile Race...Ten Years After.
