Band History

Already in 1960, were the two Ten -Years -After- founder Leo Lyons and Alvin Lee together in several groups, including Jayman, Mansfield and Atomities. With the Jaymans ( with singer Ivan Jay and drummer Quickmire ) they played very successfully in Hamburg. During this time the Beatles appeared at the Hamburg Star Club. Later Quickmire was replaced by Ric Lee (no relation to Alvin Lee). After TV appearances in the Saturday Night Sunday Morning Show, they were known and toured in the area of Nottingham. My (short-term ) Roadie Chick Churchill joined the side and sat himself on the organ. The club manager Chris Wright realized the musical potential and helped to gigs in various clubs. They wanted to be known without Ivan Jay and searched for a matching name. The ten years of the band's name is otherwise contrary to rumors relate neither to Elvis Presley still on the Rock ' n' Roll. Blues Trip, Blues yards and Life Without Mother were the first ideas for a band name. Then Leo read in the newspaper about " Ten years after the end of conscription in UK ... "And Ten Years After was born.
