ALAN WORMALD grew up in the 1960s worshipping The Beatles, Alan, a
self taught musician turned professional in the 70's. It was around
this time he also became heavily involved in jazz rock. He worked with
Allan Holdsworth in a Mecca resident Band., "Allan was a great
influence" says Alan. In 1976 Alan wrote and recorded "Nostradamus"
with the band 'First Aid' (a concept album based on the prophet). He
toured with many established acts afterwards in the 80's including:
The Drifters, The Nolans, Cannon and Ball, Gerard Kenny, Alvin
Stardust and many more. Alan enjoys writing and recording his own
songs and is often called upon to do session work, live shows and
studio "one take Al". He joined Shakatak back in 1995 and is still
recording and touring with them today.
