He was a great guy and it's nice these videos show his character and songwriting skills. Glad to have worked with him and learned so much. RIP x

Alan was one of the tutors at Stow College when I was there around 20 years ago, such a good guy. I was quite bit older than most of the kids on the course and was somewhat star struck, as I was a big fan of the Associates (and told him as much, which he appreciated in a humble and down to earth way). I loved hearing his stories about his experiences in the music industry. Very sorry to learn of his passing.

The other half of one of the best 80s bands, RIP Alan.

I’m grateful , as an archive and legacy, these clips of your interview with Alan, show how the mystique of creating hits can be underpinned by polar opposites: innovative creativity and sheer urgency. Decades on, he’s articulate and pithy about his achievements, a sad loss.

I wonder if Alan is still in touch with Martha Ladly who appeared with the band on TOTP and the video.
