Bio / info

John Charles Edward Alder (born 29 November 1944), also known as Twink, is an English drummer, actor, singer, and songwriter who was a central figure in the English psychedelic movement. In 2006, Alder converted to Islam and changed his name to Mohammed Abdullah, though he still records under the name Twink. He was a member of The Fairies, The In-Crowd, Tomorrow, and The Pretty Things before recording his first solo album. Musicians from that album formed Pink Fairies, and Twink has been involved with numerous projects since then.
