It does so by gathering quotes from interviews from 1975 onwards. Notably, it mostly excludes his recording with the band Igginbottom in 1969, which is subject matter for a separate article. | This article covers Allan Holdsworth’s early days, defined as the period from his birth up to around the time when he took up Ray Warleigh’s offer to move to London around 1970.
