A few years ago, after a few too many, I talked to a friend of mine and was kind of 'complaining' that I had already interviewed all my favorite guitarplayers, what to do now? 'Well, interview them again", he stated flatly. Which is of course a great idea and so I present you.. Allan Holdsworth, part II.

Line 5: Line 9:
Allan was playing De Boerderij in Zoetermeer with Ernest Tibbs and Joel Taylor. Sony scheduled an interview for me that I was happy to do, but since Allan was late from playing Belgium the night before, the interview got cancelled that same afternoon. I went to the gig with drummer Bas Cornelissen. Surely we found Allan at the bar, we talked a bit and being the English gentleman he is, he suggested to have our conversation anyway, during the break of the gig. Bassie asked some questions here and there too.
