Having this conversation about Steve reminds me of going way back into the early 80’s when I was working with Allan Holdsworth and he was doing a lot of his own publicity and promo. Now, anyone who knows '''Allan''' knows how funny this prospect is! I would be sitting in a room with him and he’d be talking to promoters of gigs on the phone here in England saying, “We’d like to get a gig, we are a three piece and I’m '''Allan''' '''Holdsworth''' and I’ve done this with Bruford, Tony Williams.. | Having this conversation about Steve reminds me of going way back into the early 80’s when I was working with Allan Holdsworth and he was doing a lot of his own publicity and promo.

He’s like a brother, yes.. and back in those days he was just about the only one who let me really loose, playing the way I really felt to play. | ||

However, you were very young when you began playing with Allan on albums like I.O.U. | L: Allan had already achieved quite a career establishing himself contributing to bands like Soft Machine, Tony Williams, before launching out on to his solo career in the late 70’s and 80’s.
