I was lucky enough to see Jan Akkerman in concert last Monday at the Half Moon in Putney. He was one of my favourite guitar players when I was in my teens. What a really great player !

Shit - I missed that Rob, I worked with him a few years ago at a Frankfurt
Music Messe show, we were both playing in a demo booth.
He was superb and a very friendly chap too ! We got to hang out for a couple of evenings.

Great player.
In fact the first 3 albums by Focus are excellent.
I believe they are going to do a re-union tour.
It would be great to hear Hocus Pocus played live!
Didn't he go off tangent and play the lute for a few years?
Anyway, great to hear he is still playing.

Not sure if that is with Jan Akkerman, as I believe he and Thijs Van Leer are sadly not the best of friends any more.

I'd be surprised if TvL has any friends anymore today :twisted: :wink:

Any particular reason Peter?
Is he particularly unpleasant ?

Dunno how TvL was back then, but in a TV-item about him of a few years ago he didn't seem a man you'd want to have a few drinks with. To put it nicely: a bit too full of himself I'd say (I don't want to go into the literal meaning of 'full' since that's not relevant here).
But that's OK, good musicians/performers/taxi-drivers/politicians/plumbers don't necessarily need to be nice people as well. If they are then it's sure a nice bonus.
