As a boy he originally wanted to play trumpet but ended up with a toy accordion. He started playing guitar at the age of 11, after his parents bought him a cheap Spanish guitar for Christmas, and he soon realised, listening to the twangy tones of Duane Eddy, Hank Marvin, The Ventures, he wanted to do music professionally.Alan Warner Website [http://www.alan-warner.com/10102/info.php?p=2&pno=0 Biography] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120327233537/http://www.alan-warner.com/10102/info.php?p=2&pno=0 |date=27 March 2012 }}

At some stage he was employed as a printer. According to the back cover of the Foundations' album Digging the Foundations (1969), Warner is 5 ft 4in.{{Cite web |title=The Foundations{{dash}}Digging The Foundations | website=Discogs |url=https://www.discogs.com/release/1165547-The-Foundations-Digging-The-Foundations/image/SW1hZ2U6ODY2NzQyOTE= |access-date=29 May 2024}} In 1967, he was living in Elstree, Hertfordshire with his parents. Alan claims to have made guitars out of old bed frames.

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 Skeletones and The Line-up, a popular Dublin-based group.

His first band was called The Select, a band that mainly covered Rnb songs. The band entered a Beat music competition in 1965, and with a rule that each act had to perform an original song, Warner penned his first song "Red, White And Blue For You".

After a short stint in the Skeletones, he moved to the south of Ireland. Warner nearly joined a group called The Black Eagles, which included Phil Lynott and Brian Downey, both later members of Thin Lizzy, but he turned it down.It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine, 22 July 2011 - [https://www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2011/07/pluto-interview-with-paul-gardner-alan.html Pluto interview with Paul Gardner & Alan Warner, You were in The Foundations and recorded four albums.]Irish Rock.org - [https://www.irishrock.org/irodb/bands/blackeagles.html Black Eagles]
