I've just listened to Metal Fatigue and it's incredible.
Of course I knew of him, his name and equipment was everywhere in 80s and 90s contemporary musician world but I never really heard his music for some reason.
I heard it last year and it took my head clean off! I said at the time that it was the stuff I heard in other players and really liked but knew they weren't it's source, I didn't know who was. I found the source when I heard him.
Ive been trying to find downloads of his work that goes to his family and came up empty but I did discoverd that he was also a very good non violent activist in his youth and made big positive changes to the recognition of the rights of people with disabilities in the UK. None of the music media at the time ever mentioned that.
Digging a little bit deeper I noticed that two colours pop up in unison on many of his photos. Black and red. Was Allan also an #anarchist ?

Bruford - 'Gradually Going Tornado' (1980) (2005 remaster)
Third #Bruford album. Sadly no #AllanHoldsworth, but the 'unknown' #JohnClarke's guitar playing's great too. #BillBruford, #DaveStewart and especially #JeffBerlin excel throughout.

Bruford - 'Feels Good To Me' (1977) (2cd) (2005 remaster)
#BillBruford's solo debut album. And what an excellent jazz rock solo album this is, with #DaveStewart, #JeffBerlin, #AnnettePeackock and the great late #KennyWheeler and #AllanHoldsworth.

Questo brano è #hellsbells preso dall'album #OneOfAKind , è un gioiello del #Prog con i "mostruosi" #AllanHoldsworth #DaveStewart #JeffBerlin

New #review today: "After years making a name for himself in a metal band called For the Imperium (I’m relying on hearsay, of course — I’d never heard of the band before I got the album at hand), guitarist #OssiMaristo makes his solo debut with a set of tasty #JazzFusion tunes on Arc. We are in obvious #AllanHoldsworth territory here, with Maristo’s fluid playing frequently calling the master to mind." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/ossi-maristo-arc-2.html

They all hold up exceptionally well and sound almost contemporary, despite being recognisably 1970s jazz fusion. Excellent playing throughout. #jazz #JazzRock #IanCarr #BrianSmith #ChrisSpedding #RogerSellers #DaveMacrae #AllanHoldsworth

#NowPlaying #Tempest. 1973. Jon Wiseman and Mark Clarke from #Colosseum with atypical guitar work from #AllanHoldsworth. A short lived supergroup, for the second album Holdsworth had left and #OllieHalsall had stepped in. Well worth pickling up #ProgRock #PlayEverything 406
