Ian Anderson

Leader and founder of Jethro Tull and veteran of the 1970s folk rock and progressive rock scene, this eccentric and highly charismatic minstrel who used to get the most incredible sounds from his golden flute is now in his late fifties, yet shows no signs of slowing down. Indeed, he keeps on touring and churning out albums despite a totally apathetic music industry. In 1983 he decided to go solo and has since graced us with four new albums.
