Jethro Tull

Jethro Tull 50th Anniversary Tour extended into 2019! jethrotull.com/tour-dates/ "In 2019 we will continue to present the 50th anniversary concerts in many countries and regions not visited in 2018, and also many Tull repertoire shows in Europe. There will be, of course, my usual charitable cathedral and church concerts this month. In the USA – many would argue – 2019 is really the 50th anniversary for US fans since we first visited in early 1969" Ian Anderson Tickets for 2019 U.S. tour dates are on sale to the public on Friday, December 14 at 10 AM local time.

Former Tull bass player Dave Pegg has just published his autobiography 📖 'Off The Pegg', check it out! http://www.davepegg.co.uk "I’ve got so many funny stories and anecdotes about things that have happened to me in my so-called professional life that I wanted to find a way to get them all together. They are stories I wanted to share – and I know most people who’d want to read this are Fairport fans and perhaps Tull fans. Those are the bands I’ve focused on – though not exclusively, by any means." - Dave Pegg

We learned today of the sad news that Maartin Allcock had passed away after several months of battling the final stages of liver cancer. Maart’s work with Tull starting in the late 80s was memorable for his joy and exuberant commitment to music of all kinds - even ours. His time with the Fairports and his various collaborations with artists too numerous to mention here were marked by his skills in mastering several instruments and tackling many genres. He leaves behind a treasure trove of recordings and a feast of memories. RIP Maart.
