    I admired Allan's work with GONG. Here he is on their 1976 album Gazeuse! playing his composition Shadows Of .

    One of the greatest guitarists. I'll never forget seeing him on the 1974 Soft Machine tour... Hazard Profile and The Man who Waved at Trains were just two f many memorable pieces. So glad I was alive at that time and able to see him perform. RIP Allan
