The Nave Canterbury Cathedral i54.images obliterated by tinypic/okppqf.jpg[/IMG] This is the setting for the forthcoming Christmas concert. I envy anyone who is able to attend what looks to be a gem of a night. The picture was sent to me by a lovely lady from Canterbury Gift - the organisation who are fundraising for the redevelopment of the cathedral. She had seen this thread on the Forum; "Hi, I work for The Canterbury Gift. Many thanks for posting this, it has boosted the sales of tickets..."Canterbury Gift website www.thecanterburygift.com/

anyone want to bet he won't be singing this... "The bloody Church of England in chains of history requests your earthly presence at the vicarage for tea...." Ian is to meet Dr Rowan Williams the Archbishop of Canterbury prior to the performance in the cathedral. i56.images obliterated by tinypic/2ufezyr.jpg [/IMG] www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/8016766/Canterbury-Cathedral-to-host-gig-by-Jethro-Tull-singer.html[/quote] Ater reading Ian's quote “Canterbury Cathedral is a place for life today. But it is also a place for the future and, whether you are a Christian or not, it is a place which should remain forever close to our hearts.” I think Ian and The Archbishop should get on well. Mind you I thought Dr. Williams would have bought a ticket for the concert.

bearsy.wordpress.com/2010/12/19/tull-in-the-cathedral/The concert was brilliant, the setting fantastic the acoustics unbelievable. Ian Anderson played the flute and various stringed instruments as he went through his Christmas album with a few other songs. At times he was backed by the Cathedral choir which worked very well, as did the occasional accompaniment of the cathedral organ. Afraid some of the “guest players” did not arrive due to the weather, but we had the surprise of one unannounced guest in the shape (a very large shape) of Greg Lake. I can now say I have seen one third of ELP

Cathedral rocks to sound of Tull ROCKING THE CATHEDRAL: Ian Anderson The distinctive sound of Ian Anderson, lead singer of Jethro Tull, filled the cavernous beauty of Canterbury Cathedral's nave on the Saturday before Christmas. Despite the snow and travel chaos, the centre aisle was packed as more than 700 people braved the arctic conditions to attend the first rock concert at the Cathedral. All 1,200 tickets had sold out within weeks, with buyers from all over the country and as far afield as America. Freshly returned from a solo tour of the American east coast, Anderson performed with musical precision and sheer brilliance. He was joined on stage by band members John O'Hara, David Goodier, Florian Ophale and Scott Hammond, plus special guest Greg Lake. Dr David Flood and the Canterbury Cathedral Lay Clerk Choir was the support, although violinist Anna Phoebe and guest speaker and BBC anchorman Gavin Esler were unable to get to the venue. Anderson donned a festive Santa hat at the start of the evening and began the set with Tull's 1970 acoustic gem Life Is A Long Song, quickly followed by We Five Kings with chorus by the Lay Clerks. The evening included a well-chosen blend of folk, rock and classical compositions, mostly with a yuletide flavour. Special guest Greg Lake delighted the audience with his 1975 classic I Believe In Father Christmas, supported by Anderson on the flute and Florian Ophale on guitar. He later returned to sing the Emerson, Lake and Palmer ballad Lucky Man. The evening ended with a spectacular orchestral version of Tull's Aqualung, followed by Locomotive Breath. Matthew Butler, chief executive of The Canterbury Gift, which raises money for renovation work on the cathedral, said: "It was a very memorable evening and may not be the last rock concert in the Cathedral. "Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors John Booth, Shepherd Neame and Ian Anderson himself, all the money raised went towards the conservation of the Cathedral – particularly some very necessary repairs to our organ." Anderson said: "If our generation, and future generations, don't support these great buildings then they will be lost. There is, for me, a real parallel regarding the preservation of our great buildings and a greater sense of conserving our world. "Canterbury Cathedral is a place for life today. "But it is also a place for the future and whether you are a Christian or not, it is a place which should forever remain close to our hearts."
