Alan Warner (musician)

Alan Warner (aka Allan Warner) (born 21 April 1947, Paddington, West London) is a musician.

Musical career

In the early 1960s after leaving school at the age of fourteen, Warner played with several semi-professional groups playing local gigs, before becoming a professional musician two years later. Some of the groups he played in were The Leesiders Sect, The Line-up, The Ramong Sound, Tel Thorne and The Dwellers and The Trekkers.

Warner was one of the founding members of The Foundations who had hits with "Baby, Now That I've Found You" and "Build Me Up Buttercup". He played lead guitar. After the Foundations broke up, in the early 1970s Warner went on to form the progressive rock band, Pluto.

Later years

As well as being a musician / guitarist / guitar teacher, Warner is also an author of various guitar instruction books and instructional videos. The first one was called "The Guitar Cook Book", the first of a succession of similar books.

Warner nearly joined a group called The Black Eagles, which featured a bass player called Phil Lynott, who would later go on to find fame as the leader of Thin Lizzy.

In the late 1990s, due to the popularity of the hit film, " There's Something About Mary" and the revived interest in the song, "Build Me Up Buttercup", Warner reformed a version of The Foundations that featured Colin Young, and another former Foundations member, Steve Bingham.
