Jethro Tull: the Prog Years, Glasgow

Jethro Tull biography

Jethro Tull is a British rock band formed in Blackpool, Lancashire in 1967. The band initially played blues rock and jazz fusion before incorporating elements of English folk music, hard rock, and classical music, developing a distinctive progressive rock sound. Ian Anderson, the band's founder, leader, principal composer, and lead vocalist, has been the only constant member. Anderson is a multi-instrumentalist, primarily playing flute and acoustic guitar. Over the years, the band has included several notable musicians, such as guitarists Mick Abrahams and Martin Barre (the latter being the longest-serving member after Anderson); bassists Glenn Cornick, Jeffrey Hammond, John Glascock, Dave Pegg, Jonathan Noyce, and David Goodier; drummers Clive Bunker, Barrie "Barriemore" Barlow, and Doane Perry; and keyboardists John Evan, Dee Palmer, Eddie Jobson, Peter-John Vettese, Andrew Giddings, and John O'Hara.
