Jethro Tull - The Curiosity Tour
Ian Anderson and the band Jethro Tull are one of the most successful and enduring progressive rock bands in the world. Jethro Tull first appeared under this name in early February 1968 at the famous Marquee Club in Wardour Street, London. The band quickly built up a following there and in the many other small blues clubs and pubs across England and gained widespread media and public recognition at the Sunbury Jazz and Blues Festival in the summer of 1968, where they were the surprise hit of the event.
Tull recorded with the original line-up - consisting of Anderson, Cornick, Bunker and Abrahams - and released their first album "This Was" later that year. After the departure of Mick Abrahams and his replacement by Martin Barre, around thirty other musicians changed over the decades, some of whom stayed for a few months, others for the longer term.
Although Ian Anderson now uses his own name in connection with Tull performances and repertoire, the Jethro Tull brand endures to this day. As writer, producer, flautist, singer and occasional guitarist, Anderson typically performs with the band in 80 - 100 shows each year in many countries around the world.
Ian Anderson is accompanied by Tull band musicians David Goodier (bass), John O'Hara (keyboards), Joe Parrish (guitar) and Scott Hammond (drums). The show will be complemented by a large-format video projection.
