It's always been something I've been searching for - freedom. It's a very relative thing. It means different things to different people.

The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so it's all a bit weird.

My father was always playing this ethnic blues stuff around the house, and both my parents played. Then one day my father brought home Big Bill Broonzy, and there he was sitting in our living room playing, and blues was in my heart from the time I was 12 years old.

Strangely enough, I wasn't into fast guitarists. I preferred Peter Green's subtle touch. I saw him with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers at the Marquee Club in London and was very impressed. He was the only guitarist I've ever seen to turn the volume control on his guitar down during a solo.

I just couldn't take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that's about all I did at school.

That's the kind of musical freedom I like: jazz, rock, blues, anything. You adopt different attitudes when you play different music.
Alvin Lee -
I went to see John Mayall at the Marquee, with Peter Green on guitar, and that was a particularly good gig.
Alvin Lee -
I think I'll continue to work as a solo artist.
