We've just returned from seeing Eric at Manchester doing a promo gig for Avalon Guitars/Sound Control.

Eric has just finished chemotherapy following an operation for a cancer on his salivary gland. This knocked him for six; but he's bounced back with passion and verve like you've never dreamt of.

He's just been for the first of many checks, and been pronounced clear.

If you've never seen him, catch him somehow, somewhere. Awesome. Innovative and immensely talented. And a nice guy.
