Which two members of Jethro Tull were fired? Welcome along to the Jethro Tull Forum Williamsams - it's good to have you on board and I look forward to reading about your thoughts on Jethro Tull and anything else you'd like to post. "Fired" members of Tull ? Well it depends I suppose on how the individual members of the band learnt of their departure. Mick Abrahams states in his book that he was leaving anyway in '68, Glenn Cornick's dismissal is probably the most obvious case of someone who's time with the band is over and the "sackings" after Stormwatch were, I believe, down to very bad record company publicity etc. IA hasn't been entirely blameless but the reconciliation which has recently occurred between the old bandmates proves in my mind that time is a great healer. As for any recent changes in the line up (Andy Giddings et al) the full story has yet to be written I suppose. Maddog

Maddog Welcome Williamsams ;D Hope you have fun looking at the Forum and joining in On the point of hiring firing and expiring I found this interview (2000) where one of the questions asked is; A few former Tull members have been fairly forthright about their opinions of your approach to bandleading. Anderson "As far as I’m aware, I don’t think there’s anyone who’s not talking to me. A couple of guys I would have to say we’re not buddy buddies though. We essentially don’t really get on that well, but we still talk. They’re still on the phone a couple of times a year—particularly when the royalty checks are coming through. [laughs] There’s no really bad blood out there. There’s some guys in the band who don’t get on with other guys in the band from past years. Most of them I see probably once a year. Two or three of them, I don’t see very often. But I would say most of the 22 members I’ve either done a major tour with or who have played on at least one record with Jethro Tull I probably see pretty much every year. Some of them I feel pretty close to. There’s not too much negative stuff coming out of anybody." www.innerviews.org/inner/iananderson.html
