Alan has been with the Bee Gees since 1970. He plays Seymour Duncan guitars. Pickup Models : JB Model , Alnico II Pro for Strat Flat . And, he also plays the Pedal steel guitar. Wow!


The following is an extract from a 1979 tour programme:
<< Prior to his association with The Bee Gees, Alan worked with Toe Fat, who toured the USA with Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominoes. He has worked previously with Glass Menagerie and Chris Ryan and the Questions. Self taught, he lists his musical influences as Buddy Holly, B.B. King and Peter Greeve and his favorite singles as Eleanor Rigby/The Beatles, Drift Away/Doby Gray and Sally Gee-Wings.>>
Posted to RingsAroundTheMoon mailing list by Linda. 


Alan is the mystery man and he likes his private life private have already said. Of course . It is quite difficult to find anything out about this man aside from what I that doesn't make him any less appealing to his fans. Alan is often referred to on the mailing lists as "*sigh* Alan". Regular offenders being Dale & Katie ....

Alan is currently in the studio working with the Bee Gees on their new album (possibly titled "Technicolor Dreams" )
