While working on his second solo production he also assembled a band of his own called "Bedouin" after the album title issued that year which enjoyed successful tours all over Europe and the UK. The band eventually folded in 2003 due to Alan rejoining Hawkwind again in 2000, not having the time for two major bands at the same time.

In 2000 Alan hooked up with Hawkwind again for the Hawkestra to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Hawkwind, an event at Brixton Academy which sold out but he still continued making solo albums at his home studio which resulted in the release of "Chaos Delight" on Italian label 'Black Widow Records'.

The solo productions from Alan slowed down after this due to rejoining Hawkwindand became involved with the UK's #1 underground black metal outfit 'Meads of Asphodel' (deemed so by a readers pole in Kerrang Magazine) who originally asked Alan to play Bass on one song for their new album at the time, a song Alan wrote in 1988 called 'Sword of the East' but after hearing Alan performance they asked him to do Bass on the entire album because of his unique Bass style Alan brought to their sound. 

The album went on to be a huge hit in their genre and Alan went on to record 7 more albums with them. 

In 2007 Alan left Hawkwind again and for good, unhappy with the bands attitude and behavior and soon after Alan released a new solo album called "Human on the Outside". It's success and favorable reviews showed Alan's drive and determination to success, while Hawkwind's new album that same year was slated, the lack of Alan's input was mentioned many times as the reason.

In 2008 a compilation of Alan's demos he'd recorded from 1985-2004 was issued as a 4 CD collectors Boxset named "Four-Track-Mind" This was a limited edition of 500, sold in the UK only and soon sold out. It’s now available again on Cleopatra Records in CA.

Alan was also involved in several other projects in 2008 working with former Hawkwind vocalist Bridget Wishart on a project called "Djinn", and with Nik Turner (original Hawkwind founder) revived Hawklords with Harvey Bainbridge and Steve Swindells with a very successful UK and European tour, live album and DVD. 

In the same year Alan revived his teen years band 'Gunslinger' a band he started in 1981 aged 18 with cousin Nigel Potter. They recorded one song and put it on the new Gunslinger 'MySpace' site. Within a week it had 12,000 plays! So a new album 'Earthquake in E Minor' was recorded of 12 songs written by Alan between 1981-82. 

1000 CDs and 1000 Vinyl records were sold very quickly on Alan's new record label 'Earthquake Records', leading to many successful European tours of France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Finland and UK between 2009-12 and with Gunslinger becoming more and more popular Alan took Gunslinger to the USA for 23 concerts in 2011 touring Texas, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York and New Hampshire. Gunslinger produced a live EP from the tour and live album both released on Flicknife Records. 

In 2009 Alan released another solo album called 'Eclectic Devils' and for the next five years produced a further four solo albums and formed the band The Psychedelic Warlords to celebrate Lemmy's time with the band. 

As Alan is the only Bass player that can play Lemmy's style he was asked by many fans to celebrate the 40th anniversary of 3 albums and was soon asked to headlined the opening night to a crowd of 4,000 at the prestigious 'Roadburn Festival' in Holland. Followed by 2 years of successful crowd pleasing tours with the Psychedelic Warlords in the UK.

Alan invested in a new state of the art recording studio and spent all his spare time learning how to produce music for movies and TV and to learn to mix and produce more professionally knowing this is what he'd like to do in the future which came to fruition in 2016 after a meeting with Brian Perera (CEO of Cleopatra Music & Film) and Matt Green (the Vice President of Acquisitions) who instantly recognized Alan's potential in the industry due to his unique atmospheric compositions and other very varied music on his previous solo albums, some of which have already been chosen for a new movie in the making and many tv and radio shows worldwide.

This is a new start of a new career for Alan, teaming up with the LA based Record and Film Company Cleopatra.  Alan is working on many pieces of music for Cleopatra have many more projects in the pipeline. 

A new solo album called 'Hawkestrel' is now finished with many ex Hawkwind members guesting such as, Ginger Baker, Lemmy, Paul Rudolf, Simon House, Nik Turner, Mick Slattery and William Shatner has done the spoken word on Sonic Attack, the classic piece from Hawkwinds 1973 Space Ritual album. This albums has 6 brand new pieces and 7 of Alan's older solo songs re worked with the guests and a  2nd Hawkestrel album called Pioneers of Space’ has just become available with guests Todd Rundgren, Mick Taylor, Bob Calvert and many ex Hawkwind members and at the same time another new Hawkestrel album called ‘SpaceXmas’ was also released for Xmas 2020 with guests Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Robbie Krieger (The Doors), Rick Wakeman, ex Hawkwind members and Danny Faulkner from Pre-Med.

A new Gunslinger album has already been started for release in 2025.

Alan is currently mixing and producing another new Pink Fairies album with Paul Rudolph (bass & guitar for Brian Eno, Hawkwind  and Pink Fairies) are also in place for 2025.

A new Bedouin album called 'Time is made of Gold' was released in 2018 and available on Cleopatra with guest vocalist Michelle Jimenez-Alder, whose vocals are reminiscent of Janis Joplin, Tina Turner & Kate Bush.

Alan recently wrote the music, played bass on and co produced the title track for a movie Lemmy was in called 'Sunset Society'. He was given the vocal file Lemmy had recorded in 2009 and asked by Cleopatra Recs to write music for it and play the Bass on it in Lemmy's style, an easy ask for Boomer.!

Another  Hawkestrel album was released in 2024 and had rave reviews, many saying the best one so far. 

Electrum is his latest release, a solo album (his first for 8 years) that is receiving very positive comments and reviews thus far. 

3 more albums are in the pipeline line for. 2025 an ambient/instumental album many have asked for, a new Hawkestrel album and a new album from the Merchants of Sorrow the band after Gunslinger Alan and his cousin Nigel Potter got together.

Alan shows no signs of slowing down and by all account he’s getting busier and faster and more creative.!
