He recounted his early experiences with the band Igginbottom, where they explored experimental music and faced challenges in recording studios. Holdsworth emphasized his love for jazz, particularly John Coltrane's influence on his guitar playing. He stressed the importance of finding the essence of music rather than imitating others and shared his transition from playing cover tunes to composing original music. Holdsworth also talked about his collaboration with renowned musicians like Gary Husband and the creative connections that can develop in a group.

I can remember when I moved up to Bradford from London, and we talked about Manningham, which was a part of Bradford where at one stage along the way there was a Mecca dance hall where most things happened on a Saturday night. You used to be in a Mecca dance band, didn’t you, at one time? | PH: …Our paths crossed, you know, we probably met many, many years ago in Bradford, but it’s quite funny how 30 years later you come back and here you are in Amsterdam, on, you know – neutral territory.
