Ten Years After (band)

**Ten Years After** is in Britske blues-rockband dy ’t har grutste suksessen hie tusken 1968 en 1973. Hja hawwe ek spile op it ferneamde Woodstock Festival yn augustus 1969. Hja hiene sukses mei de lieten *I’m going home, Love like a man* en *I’d love to change the* *world*. De band bestiet noch hieltyd, mar fan de âlde groep binne alinne Ric Lee en Chick Churchill der noch by. 

## Skiednis
De band is oprjochte troch sjonger en gitaarspiler Alvin Lee (de artystenamme fan Graham Barnes) en basgitarist Leo Lyons. Letter kamen Ric Lee (drums) en Chick Churchill (toetsynstruminten) der ek by en de namme fan de band waard feroare yn Ten Years After. Hja spylje blues en rock muzyk, mar ek wol lange jazzy ymprovisjaasjes. Op it Woodstock Festival yn augustus 1969 spilen hja ûnder oaren in lange ferzje fan it rock’n roll numer I’m going home wêryn ’t Alvin Lee noch ris oantoande dat er net om ‘e nocht de fluchste gitarist fan de wrâld neamd waard. It lied stiet ek op it live-album “Undead” út 1968 en waard harren bekendste numer. It stiet alle jierren yn de boppeste helte fan Radio 2 Top 2000. 

It album “Chriklewood Green” út 1970 wurdt meastentiids sjoen as it bêste album dat Ten Years After makke hat. Der steane in tal hurde blues-rock numers op dit album sa as *Working on the road*, mar ek rêstiger liedsjes en in jazz numer *Me and my baby*. It lied *50.000* *miles beneath my brain* begjint rêstich mar letter wurdt it hurde rock. It lied *Love like a man* is de ienichste single hit yn Ingelân. De band spile yn 1970 ûnder oaren op it Isle of Wight Festival mar dêrnei gongen hja wat kommersjelere muzyk spyljen, mei it album “A Space in Time”. Dêrop steane yn it generaal wat lichtere ferskes, sa as *I’d love to change the world*. De measte lieten begjinne akoestysk en wurde nei in skoftsje war ruger. Mar der steane ek in rock ‘roll numer *Baby won’t you let me rock’n* *roll you* en in jazz numer *Uncle jam* op dit album.

Ten Years After gong útelkoar yn 1973. Yn de jierren tachtich kamen hja noch in pear kear wer byelkoar. Alvin Lee hie gjin nocht om wer mei de oaren te spyljen en hy gong troch as solo artyst. Yn 2013 is hy ferstoan troch komplikaasjes nei in operaasje. Leo Lyons is oant 2104 lid bleaun fan de band, dy ’t no bestiet út Chick Churchill (keyboards), Ric Lee (drums), Colin Hodgkinson (bas) en Marcus Bonfanti (sang, gitaar). Yn 2017 is der in nij album útbrocht fan Ten Years After, "A Sting in the Tale". Yn 2018 bestiet de band 50 jier en de manlju hâlde in Anniversary Tour.
