Great images and thanks for the link Graham and so good to see Mick looking so well.   Happy memories for me which takes me back to the time I saw Mungo Jerry in 1970.   Some more images from Mick's benefit night have been added webgram.co/tag/mickabrahams |

dmme.net/Mick Abrahams Benefit – The Borderline, Soho, London, May 9th, 2016Revived – And Live! “Just to see him get on that stage, put his guitar around his neck and play when people were saying ‘Oh, he’ll never play again!’ is everything… and seeing everyone here who’ve come to support and listen to him. Hopefully this is a new beginning and the start of many more shows to come.”

JUNE 21, 2016 BY STEVE ELLIOTT Mick Abrahams, of Jethro Tull: Something Else! Interviewsomethingelsereviews.com/2016/06/21/mick-abrahams-jethro-tull-something-else-interview/Mick Abrahams rose to instant fame as a member of Jethro Tull, helping craft a debut album in This Was that memorably melded blues with progressive rock. “Cat’s Squirrel” from that 1968 project would later appear during concerts for Abrahams’ post-Tull band Blodwyn Pig. Along the way, Abrahams provided a rare non-Ian Anderson vocal on a Jethro Tull song, for “Move On Alone,” and later collaborated with Anderson on solo projects. The guitarist also formed an offshoot band, called This Was, that featured all of that era’s Jethro Tull members save for Ian Anderson. More recently, he bounced back from health issues to release a new studio effort, titled Revived! Abrahams joined Steve Elliott for a Something Else! Sitdown to discuss those early days with Tull, subsequent projects including Blodwyn Pig, and Abrahams’ new album … STEVE ELLIOTT: I wanted to congratulate you on the release of your latest album Revived!, which arrived in 2015 after some real life health concerns. I was so happy to hear that you were returning to music on your own terms. MICK ABRAHAMS: Thank you very much; my pleasure. STEVE ELLIOTT: The album included the first-ever performance between you and your successor as Jethro Tull guitarist, Martin Barre, on the Johnny Kidd and the Pirates’ classic “I Can Tell.” How did it feel to collaborate with Martin after all of these years? MICK ABRAHAMS: Martin Barre is a wonderful guitar player and a great friend of mine. Need I say any more? STEVE ELLIOTT: One guy in particular on Revived! who that stood out for me is vocalist Peter Eldridge. He sounds almost exactly like you did back in 1970 with Blodwyn Pig. I loved his vocal performance on album opener “Summer Day.” MICK ABRAHAMS: Great guy, great vocalist, and I chose him for exactly the reasons that you have said. STEVE ELLIOTT: I miss hearing your distinctive lead vocals and lead guitar throughout the whole album, as you did with Blodwyn Pig. Your voice and guitar really did sound revived on this new album. When you go in and to record your next album, do you think you will do all of the lead vocals and lead guitar playing? MICK ABRAHAMS: If I’m up to it, but I think I like good diversity of different voices. STEVE ELLIOTT: What do you remember about your pre-Jethro Tull band, McGregor’s Engine? Were there any recordings ever made? MICK ABRAHAMS: Sadly, there are no recordings of McGregor’s Engine. At least, I haven’t found any yet. STEVE ELLIOTT: Your 1968 debut single for Jethro Tull was “Sunshine Day,” a wonderful upbeat song on a summer day. I love it; what do you think of “Sunshine Day”? MICK ABRAHAMS: The production by Derek Lawrence is great. I still like it. STEVE ELLIOTT: “Love Story,” from 1968, is a powerful performance from everyone in the band, and I think a real blueprint of things to come for Jethro Tull’s classic sound. MICK ABRAHAMS: Someone played a guitar solo to me the other day, and I liked it. I then asked him where he got it from and he said, “It is you!” Doh! It was the solo from “Love Story.” STEVE ELLIOTT: You’ve said that This Was is the definitive Jethro Tull album – and not just because you’re on it. It’s hard to argue with that point, but I’d also throw in there the equally the Stand Up album, which came out after you left. Both are very strong. Your performances on that first Tull album are excellent, and I – like most early Tull fans – missed you not being in the band after 1968. MICK ABRAHAMS: Looking back, not only was it the right time for Tull and I to part company, but it gave an intro to a great guitarist and all round nice guy, Martin Barre, to inject new blood into the band. STEVE ELLIOTT: You didn’t waste too much time in putting together an all-new band after leaving Jethro Tull in late ‘68. You formed the fantastic band Blodwyn Pig in 1969. How did you guys first get together and where did you find that band name ? MICK ABRAHAMS: The band was formed from people I already knew and wanted to play with. The name just came out from a nutty friend called Graham Waller who, after hearing us rehearse one day, simply said to us on his way out of the room: “Thou shalt evermore be known as Blodwyn Pig!” We all broke up laughing, as you can imagine. I asked where he was going and he said, “I’m going to become a Buddhist monk, as he did!” He came back a year later saying it was no good, because the place was infested with snakes and the abbot wouldn’t let him have his favorite breakfast of cornflakes! He played piano on a couple of numbers, as I recall, and vanished. The last we heard, he is living somewhere in France. I am led to believe that the words Blodwyn Pig come from the poem by the famous poet, Dylan Thomas and, the play named Under Milk Wood. STEVE ELLIOTT: The first Blodwyn Pig album, 1969’s Ahead Rings Out, is a great classic debut – much like the first Jethro Tull album was. What did you want to get across and achieve with Blodwyn Pig as a band that maybe you couldn’t do with Tull? MICK ABRAHAMS: My own stuff, I guess! STEVE ELLIOTT: The second Blodwyn Pig album, 1970’s Getting to This, rocks pretty hard and expands the length of some of the songs, with the “San Francisco Sketches” suite being a pretty good example. The album also contains “See My Way,” which is another unbelievable pile-driving rocker and was one of the highlights of your live shows. “Toys’ is a beautiful, poignant and touching acoustic ballad, and as good as “The Change Song” from the first album. MICK ABRAHAMS: I was off my nut when I wrote “Toys,” but thanks for liking it. I prefer “The Change Song,” I think. STEVE ELLIOTT: “Variations On Nainos” is a wonderfully funky breezy jazz rocker, and a prime example of your style and Jack Lancaster’s flute prowess coming effortlessly to forefront – plus a dash of your funny sense of humor. MICK ABRAHAMS: Again, off my head in the recording studio. The producer bet me that I couldn’t sing a verse with my head in a bucket of water, so I did – then, jokingly they said, bet you can’t double track it. So, I did! More, spell the name Nainos backwards and you see my silly sense of humor. STEVE ELLIOTT: Unbelievably, the fabulous unreleased blues rocker “Meanie Mornay” was left off of the Getting to This album, before finally arriving as part of the 2006 reissue of Ahead Rings Out. Why wasn’t it released back in 1970? MICK ABRAHAMS: I truly have no idea. You should ask the record company people; they know everything! STEVE ELLIOTT: What did your producer Andy Johns bring to the Blodwyn Pig albums? MICK ABRAHAMS: Rest in peace, the very best I have ever worked with. He brought absolutely everything to those records. He was a really nice guy. Very talented, and Blodwyn Pig owes him a debt of gratitude. STEVE ELLIOTT: So, what in your mind caused Blodwyn Pig to break up after two albums? On the surface, you seemed to have everything going for you – great songs, fab musicianship, genuine talent and exciting performances. MICK ABRAHAMS: People being idiots, management not caring, and aliens, maybe? Who cares? It’s gone; leave it gone. STEVE ELLIOTT: After Blodwyn Pig, you then briefly formed Wommet in 1971 which then morphed into The Mick Abrahams Band after some personnel changes. What you do think of 1972’s At Last? I really don’t know what to make of it. MICK ABRAHAMS: What a crap album. I think this album failed simply because there were just too many people sticking their own oars in the water, and it ruined it for me. STEVE ELLIOTT: The original 1968 Jethro Tull lineup held a brief reunion in 2001, performing a couple of the old songs live for the Tull DVD Living With The Past. How was it for you to play those guys again after all of these years? MICK ABRAHAMS: That was good fun doing that. We all went into an old-fashioned club in Warwick, where we were filmed and recorded live in front of an audience of Tull fans who were told to clap lightly and disappointingly – just like in the first days when we played these types of clubs. It was hard going until Tull had a magic breakthrough at the Sunburn Blues Festival. STEVE ELLIOTT: Tell us about your experience at the special 50th anniversary benefit concert, held on May 9, 2016 in England at the Borderline Club. MICK ABRAHAMS: It was truly incredible! STEVE ELLIOTT: I want to thank you for all of the great music that you’ve recorded with Jethro Tull, Blodwyn Pig, and as solo artists. You are a true original, Mick Abrahams. MICK ABRAHAMS: You’re very kind! Thank you all so much. |

My thanks to PC for emailing me the enclosed. Seems Mick is "under the weather" in Milton Keynes but has not lost his sense of humour    Very sorry to hear about Mick. Pity he's not nearby or I'd visit him with a bunch of grapes for us both to share. Get well soon Mick. |

It's not often these days for Blodwyn Pig to be mentioned, let alone played, on UK radio but last night in the last 10 minutes of Marc Riley's programme on BBC 6 Music the Pig were featured. Nothing we don't know already but still it's a pleasant surprise to hear them featured. www.bbc.co.uk/radio/play/m0000d7p |

I may have missed or forgotten about this "episode" in Mick's career but either way it's interesting ! From shadowmusic.bdme.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5438&start=20Re: jET HARRIS NEW BOOK
Postby Arpeggio » Thu Jun 23, 2011 10:10 am
I Found out about "Theme For A Fallen Idol" 22 years ago quite by chance when I was interviewing former Jethro Tull guitarist (later of Blodwyn Pig) Mick Abrahams. It was during the time when he was getting back to live playing with a new line up of '...the Pig'. It was a fascinating interview especially when Mick mentioned that he started out life (musically) as a 12 - year - old 'Hank Marvin Clone' in a group playing many Shadows instrumentals. It was later....when I asked him what he'd been doing (as he spent some time out of the music business) in between the demise of the Mick Abrahams Band and his 1989 'renaissance'....that he thought for a moment and said..."Hmmmm...ah...I was Jet Harris briefly back in 1975.." I was staggered - as his throwaway comment came right out of the blue. Mind you....Mick was also taken aback when I asked him if that was on "Theme For A Fallen Idol" produced by Roger LaVerne. He confirmed that it was & that the reason was that Jet had turned up for the session....but that he was heavily under the influence of alcohol and his attempts at playing were utterly disastrous. I also recalled that Mick was chief guitar demonstrator for SRT at the time & so it all made sense.
"I was a great fan of the Shadows and Jet Harris", he said, "...Roger LaVerne couldn't abort the session because other musicians were involved and he'd have to pay them whether they played anything or not. Anyway....I went over to the studio and quickly learnt the music. Then I just did my very best Jet Harris impression (on the guitar) for two and a half minutes...but I couldn't resist just putting a flashy couple of bars in at the end...." (Mick laughed as he said that).
As part of the Joe Meek Society I also got to know Roger LaVerne quite well and he subsequently confirmed Mick's account of events. Roger was also fiercely loyal to Jet and (even in 1989) he asked me not to let it be known that Jet wasn't on "Theme..." - purely to protect Jet at the time. Jet certainly played the number live during the 1970s. Re: "This Sportin' Life" and "Guitar Man" - neither Mick Abrahams nor Roger LaVerne have ever said that Jet didn't feature on those tracks.
Like some people (as has already been mentioned) I knew that Jet didn't play on "Scarlett O'Hara" and "Applejack" - although, of course, he subsequently played both numbers live (& on future re - recordings) many, many, many times. No - one has ever suggested that it wasn't Jet on "Besame Mucho", "...Golden Arm", "Diamonds" etc., etc. The main reason that Jet didn't actually play on a handful of tracks was, sadly, the effects of his alcoholism. Dave Nicholson's book certainly doesn't paint a very flattering picture of Jet. It's not surprising as it dwells heavily on the periods of Jet's life when he was a chronic alcoholic in the depths of depression. It makes for painful and harrowing reading.
When Jet famously said that he'd been "To Hell and back" - it was heartfelt. When he managed to end c. 35 years of alcohol addiction in 1997 - it must have been incredibly difficult for him to come to terms with what had happened during those terrible years. Yes.....it must have had a dreadful effect on those closest to him. Sadly, a lot of it he simply couldn't remember. It's always extremely difficult to separate out the tremendous effect musically that our heroes have on us from their private lives. It's not for me to judge Jet (who I knew privately on one level for almost 25 years)....but the book (although I don't doubt the brutal honesty of some of the accounts) is upsetting.
But.....musically...for what he did with the Shadows and his solo career (even though he didn't play on on two or three tracks) and particularly for the years 1997 - 2010 - he still (IMHO) deserves the accolades he received. Jet's interaction with the fans was also 100% genuine. Let's just also say that the personal lives of many great musicians (Jazz, Rock, Popular, Soul, Folk, Classical etc) and composers - do not make for pleasant reading. Generally though - we all tend to separate out all of these personal issues when enjoying great music. Similar parallels can also be drawn with many great and popular authors, poets, artists etc., etc., etc.
Best wishes to all....RobIf the above is legit, and I have no reason the believe it isn't, this is the release bought of ebay a few weeks ago for a few £s.

pastdaily.com/2014/10/23/blodwyn-pig-in-session-1970-nights-at-the-roundtable-session-edition/Blodwyn Pig In Session – 1970 – Nights At The Roundtable: Session Edition The name may not ring too many bells, unless you were a longtime follower of Jethro Tull, and then it would all make sense. Blodwyn Pig was founded by Guitarist Mick Abrahams who, if fans remember, was a founding member of Jethro Tull. Abrahams would leave shortly after This Was came out and went on to a solo career. One of those stop-offs was by way of Blodwyn Pig, who had two albums out and were, during their tenure, a staple of many Underground FM stations here in the States. Their big hit was Dear Jill, a ballad that just hit the right chords with listeners and was their most memorable hit. After Blodwyn Pig’s demise, Mick Abrahams continued his solo career with various lineups of bands. But this short-lived band was remembered fondly by a lot of people. As a reminder, here is a session the band did in 1970 for John Peel which features mostly material from their Ahead Rings Out album. Crank it up and enjoy. pastdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Blodwyn-Pig-in-session-1970.mp3
