About
Ten Years After are a British blues rock band formed in Nottingham in 1966. They rose to international fame after a landmark performance at Woodstock in 1969, and remain best known for the 1971 single 'I'd Love to Change the World'. Guitarist Alvin Lee was long celebrated as one of the fastest players of his generation. Following Lee's death in 2013 and several lineup changes, founding drummer Ric Lee continues to lead a new incarnation of the band.
