I picked up on Ciro Antinozzi by chance as I noted the name Ollie Halsall and remembered that Allan Holdsworth had been a fan of Ollies' playing in the band Patto, before Ollies' recent death. So lots of video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/bluesygo. Ciro is also on MySpace: http://myspace.com/170769910, in the meantime check out the blue fusion videos':

Background:
Ciro Antinozzi was born in Salerno, Italy. He started to play guitar at the age of 16 during Clapton's Cream/Jimi Hendrix era. After playing for some years he discovered the band Patto featuring the "Allan Holdsworth approved" guitarist Ollie Halsall.

Since then he has incorporated Ollies style together with the more bluesy tones of Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. He describes this style as blues fusion.

Ciro has played in many bands and now plays in the female fronted band Still Crazy in clubs around the city where he lives, Salerno in Italy.
