First off apologies for the lack of posts regarding the tour, I've been going out of my way to avoid looking for any news or reviews about the gigs until I get one in but I have stumbled by accident across this from the Mostly Autumn official Myspcae blog:

The last update, touring and special guest of Jethro Tull!
Current mood: wanted
Category: Music
As part of Jethro Tull’s sold out 40th anniversary tour celebrations, Bryan and Heather have been invited to make various guest appearances over the next month or so. The first of which was the April 8th evening at Manchester’s Lowry Centre.
’’We are delighted to be involved in such a celebration. It is truly an honour to be invited by such luminaries to take part on this tour. 40 years is such a special achievement, particularly amidst today’s somewhat disposable music culture. Bryan and I have both always loved Jethro Tull and see this as a wonderful opportunity that to us is not only a bench mark for Mostly Autumn, but with our new album complete and almost ’gone to big school’, the perfect way to kick off celebrations for our own 10th anniversary this year. Of course Bryan and I (at a mere 19!) and indeed various other incarnations of the band were going a little before 1998, but that year marked the official release of our first album, For All We Shared. - Heather Findlay.
The duo will be playing a handful of acoustic songs spanning their repertoire which may even include the odd surprise…
’’We do regret that this wasn’t an opportunity for you to come and see us too this time simply due to the sold out nature of this tour, but we shall endeavour at some stage to let you know how it was for us’’.
I don't know if this means they will be playing as a support act or appearing during the Tull set but either way it's good news for me, I'm a big Mostly Autumn fan and recommend them highly.

I gather there will be some new material from the out soon Glass Shadows album as well as the regular set so I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the gig if you don't mind a little review? Fanks!
