Found this on ebay from tinklypilot which is AG's name there:
Vyktoria Live: Something About Driving. feat. Andrew Giddings (keyboards) & Doane Perry (percussion)
In my sixteen years as keyboard player with Jethro Tull we had many requests from musicians hoping to fill the opening act slot at our concerts. Of the more memorable and entertaining acts was Vyktoia Keating, a solo singer/songwriter and guitar player. So much so in fact, that drummer Doane Perry and myself joined Vyktoria on stage during her set during our 30th Anniversary US and UK tours. The resulting recordings were brought home to my studio and compiled into this CD.
Including a live introduction by Ian Anderson. Tracks recorded live in California, Maryland, Michigan, Colorado, Oxford, UK. Playing time 42:35
£4.99, free p & p.

There's a fantastic interview with Andreww in the latest AND. Ste What does he say about leaving Tull? A lot! 17 pages about this subject. To make it short: Everything was fine, Ian is a nice chap, Andrew never was angry about the decision, ...

We all know that's a load of Bullcrap.
When it happened Andrew was pretty peed off about it. Plenty of words from him about it and let's not forget the doctored photos of the band with Ian as captain Mainwaring.
So what changed his tune? I can't understand why you would replace Andrew with the current guy?

There was indeed words. The "new guy" though is no slouch - a quick look at his CV reveals some decent achievements, and he's been working with IA since 2003... What did Giddings do that made you think he was so special?
The captain mainwearing thing was hilarious though.

I liked AG work on Divinities which really was a collaberation. Best of all I think he made a real effort to communicate with the fans. He was the only one to update his news on the website and he has a great sense of homour. Perhaps if he had more hair and a beard people would have warmed to him even more!
The new guy has yet to make a recording debut in Tull. I can't judge him until then because I don't go to the gigs anymore.

Divinities was a good departure and Gidding's work was good on it, and he did seem to make an effort with the fans... He also created a bit of a stage persona as well. The band's website is pretty awful. I was actually disappointed when I went along to the "acoustic" gig and a different lineup trotted out. I'd got used to seeing the same folks on stage... But the "new guys" did a good job... I was also disappointed when Peggy left, as well. Let's hope the new guys do manage to get into some recording.

`I would guess, for the most part, Ian's attention span with Tull sidemen is more or less equal to professional musician's tolerance for such a blatantly sideman gig....I bet the partings are civil, businesslike and leave both parties with good memories and freedom to strike out in other directions....How mad can you be that you were in Tull's league for awhile?...it can't hurt your resume. I understand the original Tull men, thru 1979's big changeover, had deeper emotional and personal investments in their Tullhood....but since then? Business.

Bit tricky to know what thread to put this in given that we cover every type of music. Best stick it in the thread that has the name of the keyboard player - him with the jacket and the rolled up sleeves.... the cascade of hair down to his collar .... with the cheeky tease of mullett Thanks Andrew very moving at the end.........

Happy Birthday Andy !!
He was my second favourite keyboard player after John Evan, simply for his stage presence, I loved that thing he did with his legs !! Not sure why he left Tull, but he'd been with them for a very long time, sometimes one needs a new challenge. The current keyboard player John O'Hara is obviously a great musician too, but for me he lacks stage presence, he looks like a bored school teacher, but he's a nice chap (I met him at a gig in Birmingham a few years back). Also Andy's keyboard sounds were spot on, sometimes John O'Hara sounds like he's playing a Bontempi organ !! (£19.99)

The new guy has yet to make a recording debut in Tull. I can't judge him until then because I don't go to the gigs anymore. Got that right about Andrew communicating with the fans, when I was considering options for some recording software some years ago now, I shot him a question because I knew he was a Cubase user and recording engineer to some degree (probably advanced), and he emailed back some helpful insights about software. In concert, and on recordings, lots of effort into developing the music.

Beautiful piece and video from Andy's album Picture This. 'The horror of war remembered 70 years on. Gawd bless 'em. And a little tune to remember those who manned the "little ships" in order to rescue the survivors.' Andy www.andrewgiddingsmusic.com/my%20music.html

Thanks for posting this. Andy Giddings always seemed a great musician as well as being a very nice guy. I was disappointed when he left Jethro Tull. I wondered what had happened to him as he used to put clips of his music on various web pages but I have not seen anything for years.
Interesting that he has the cover of Brain Salad Surgery by ELP on his wall. Wonder if he got the band to sign it when they were on tour together. One of my favourite albums when it first came out.

That would be a nice, concrete piece of memorabilia. A bit more solid than the cigarette butt I picked up and carefully preserved from 1976 tour. It's long lost...but think of the value when cloning from stray bits of DNA becomes child's play.
