On Friday, July 20th, 2007 at 8PM, the Inter-Media
Art Center (also known as “IMAC”)
in Huntington, Long Island will present an evening with TEN
YEARS AFTER- the special 40th
Anniversary Tour.
In 1967, four young musicians from Nottinghamshire, England,
Leo Lyons, Ric Lee, Chick Churchill together with
Alvin Lee, formed Ten Years After and
became one of the biggest names and the most explosive
quartet on the world stage.
Their now legendary encore, "I'm Going Home" performed
at The Woodstock Music and Arts Festival in August 1969,
was captured on film and exposed their jazz, blues, rock
amalgam to a large audience of movie-goers who were blown
away by the intensity of the band's performance when the
Academy Award winning documentary was released in 1970.
Their ten-minute appearance in the film is an acknowledged
highlight and established Ten Years After a
place in the rock history.
Sadly, Alvin Lee decided to go solo in 1975 and the group
disappeared from the scene. A chance opportunity
early in 2002 for the three founder members of Ten Years
After --- Leo Lyons (bass), Chick
Churchill (keyboards) and Ric Lee (Drums)
to work together gave them an insight into the intense,
re-awakened interest in the band. With the addition
of new band member, sensational, twenty-five year old guitarist
/ vocalist Joe Gooch, instead of Alvin
Lee, they are recreating the music, energy and excitement
they have been known for over the past four decades.
Tickets for this performance are $40.00 ($30.00 for
IMAC Members). For tickets or further information
