Here's a link for you doubters: www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/tulls-ian-anderson-announces-solo-acoustic-tour/Anderson says: “I have always wanted to go out in the UK with a small line-up, to play and to restructure the songs and music for a more intimate and personalised performance. After many years of performing in this way for radio broadcasts in the USA, it seems like fun to bring this approach to the UK fans, old and new, and to make them feel like they are in my living room for an impromptu family concert.” A family concert - does that mean no dirty jokes? I hope not. |

Nice one rockisland you've got maddog growling in his kennel at not being first to post the tour dates. ;D Looks like The Sage Gateshead for me, strange looking building that I've been past a few times but never been in. What a good excuse I've got now.    |

What a good excuse I've got now.   I understand that it's going to be as a trio with IA, Florian and John. No doubt all bass players will have something to say about that. As for growling, my kennal is nice and warm and I just bark at any passing cat  |

yes he was excellent and the other musicians were so brilliant too. his voice was still good, he seems to have left all that led zep hard rock thing behind and the chances of them ever reforming seem to be a million miles away. i wonder if plant and anderson have ever made up their public spat from the mid 70s, i remember it being headlines in the melody maker!

www.soundspike.com/news/tour/1131-ian_anderson_tour_jethmro_tull_frontman_ian_anderson_bridges.htmlJethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson bridges the generation gap with classic rockStory by Christina Fuoco-Karasinski SoundSpike Contributor Published November 30, 2010 05:16 AM Flute-wielding Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson, who recently wrapped up a U.S. jaunt, lovingly anticipates hitting the road. Next up on his itinerary is a series of dates in Italy with the Sturcz Quartet and a Christmas show at Canterbury Cathedral in Canterbury, England. // Tour dates at SoundSpike Flute-wielding Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson, who recently wrapped up a U.S. jaunt, lovingly anticipates hitting the road. Next up on his itinerary is a series of dates in Italy with the Sturcz Quartet and a Christmas show at Canterbury Cathedral in Canterbury, England. "I'm always looking forward to tours and it's always kind of fun to be on the eve of departure and have that thrill of preparing yourself, whether it's just packing a suitcase or checking in online to get on an airplane," Anderson told SoundSpike. " planning the shows. If you haven't done it for a few days, which I haven't, you rekindle that excitement and spirit and energy in preparation for another tour. I suppose if you catch me on a Wednesday night in the middle of a long tour, I might not be as enthusiastic or friendly."
At his concerts, fans can expect a blend of music from his solo career and years with Jethro Tull, who are responsible for the ubiquitous classic rock tracks "Aqualung," "Bungle in the Jungle" and "Locomotive Breath." He calls the set a mixture of some obvious and some much less obvious music from him.
"A lot of it -- I guess about 80 percent of it -- is Jethro Tull repertoire, but not necessarily the best-known repertoire," Anderson said. "Some of it is more obscure stuff that rarely gets played live on stage."
The shows will also feature four or five new tracks that he has penned. Anderson explained he prefers to road test material to give it a chance to marinate before the recording process.
"It's a good thing to do, road testing material in that way, giving the opportunity to modify, refine it and bring it to the audience, who in the way kind of shapes the way that it goes," he said. "I think you learn in the process of bringing the music live. It's a lot more enjoyable than rehearsing it endlessly in a recording studio."
Anderson sees in those performances generations of fans, which he finds thrilling.
"I think there are generations -- particularly in countries other than the U.S.A. -- which are really a new generation of fans that are hearing the music and revering the music of people from their parents' generation," Anderson said. "It's nice to know you're having that impact on people. I hope that in their turn they pass it on to their children too."
As for 2011, Anderson is working on a number of tours in South America, Australia and the Western United States. He is also planning to continue his holiday shows, such as the one scheduled at Canterbury Cathedral.
"I'll also be doing some Christmas shows, concerts in some cathedrals in the U.K.," Anderson said. "I tend to support the restoration funds of our great religious establishments--not that that makes me a Christian. I'm not a Christian. I just like old buildings that smell funny."

OK so who on the Forum is going to the solo shows in September?
I've got tickets for Exeter on the 7th, Hayes on the 9th and the Union Chapel on the 10th.
All being well we could arrange some pre concert drinks etc. for friends and aquaintances.
