Should anybody want one for their garden - Faunus the Roman Pan Cornish Stone wall fountain " This powerful imagery represents untamed nature and lust, as his leering expression indicates. Faunus the Roman Pan as the name of the god, Pan signifies ALL; he came to be considered as a symbol of the universe and personification of Nature and later still to be regarded as a representative of the gods and of Paganism itself. He can bring an exciting mood and atmosphere to room or garden grotto!
The Romans celebrated Faunus with the "Lupercalia" a festival on February 15th with both sexes promiscuously attending the celebration during the darkness of night with no less than seven thousand votaries joining in the drunkeness and debauchery, causing the senate to eventually ban the party for ever from Rome.
Pan/Faunus is praised by Neopagans today, where he is considered a powerful deity and an ideal of male virility and sexuality, called the Horned God. He is particular worshipped within Wicca.
Faunus revealed the future in dreams and voices that were communicated to those who came to sleep in his precincts. The round temple of Faunus was one of the first Pagan temples to be consecrated by Pope Simplicius (468-83 A.D.) and was renamed St Stephano Rotondo." Faunus

Jethro Tuull, whether served by Ian or Martin these days, is clearly the long sought after Fountain of Youth.

Leamington's Assembly plays host to former Jethro Tull star Martin BarreSep 26, 2014 10:31 By Alan Poolewww.coventrytelegraph.net/ Former Jethro Tull star Martin Barre is back on the road with his current band for a pre-Christmas schedule that will take in Leamington's Assembly on December 20. There are those people, even today, who assume that Ian Anderson is Jethro Tull and vice-versa but, of course, there was always far more to the band than their flamingo-legged flautist. Martin Barre, in particular, was a crucial component from 1969, when he replaced Mick Abrahams for second album Stand Up, to 2011 when they finally called it a day. Jethro Tull without his admirably versatile guitar contribution would be a very different album so nobody could dispute his right to keep that music alive. On Monday he releases Order Of Play, a studio recreation of his live show which brings together favourites like Thick As A Brick, Steal Your Heart Away, Fatman, Crossroads and Locomotive Breath. And he’ll be back on the road with his current band for a pre-Christmas schedule that will take in Leamington’s Assembly on December 20. The album has been a while in the making, Barre explaining: “In January 2013, we headlined a festival in Somerset. We wanted a live CD to be a summary of the last two years of our work and this was the ideal opportunity. “Fans had kept asking for a CD version of the show but, rather than recording an actual gig, we thought we would do something better and record live in a studio with all the energy of a show but with the best sound quality possible. “So, with the band in one place and a couple of days off, we met at Middle Farm Studio the next morning, set the back-line up as we do on stage, with Dan in a booth, as he, rightly, felt that it was important to record all his vocals live. “It was really important to keep the feel and continuity the same as a live gig. By the end of the day, we had all the songs finished.” Dan is Dan Crisp, who also plays acoustic guitar and bouzouki, and the band is completed by George Lindsay (drums), Richard Beesley (saxophone / clarinet) and Alan Thomson (bass) – “a happy band,” says Barre; “we’re all working hard to make it better and better. ”I don’t want to do mirror-image music, become Jethro Tull without the flute player. It’s important I have an identity, adapt the music, re-arrange it for guitars.” As well as dipping back into the Tull back catalogue, Barre continues to work on new material and at the age of 67 he is still very much a working musician. “I had some good years, I’ve got a nice house but I’m not rich – I can’t retire. “I will never stop playing, whether it’s my own music or Jethro Tull or something else. I’m very broad-minded. I can adapt to anything, so ultimately I’ll keep playing, whether it’s in clubs, auditoriums, big stages, it doesn’t matter to me. “As long as I’m able to write music and to record music, I will fight very hard to do that. * Tickets for the Assembly show are on sale now at £18.50.

Ian often mwentions Martin's inadequate tour organizing and self-promoting skills...well, he's right. Someone is not paying off or threatening the right people to get Martin's name on top of the bill and/or in bigger letters. I volunteer.

Someone is not paying off or threatening the right people to get Martin's name on top of the bill and/or in bigger letters. I volunteer. Although this tour is playing in bigger venues, there is more effort needed. Once Martin decided to drop Pat O'May and have a support act, he seems to have made progress.
I would love to see Martin's show anywhere, but he still has limitations. Promoters are not willing to promote unless they get what they consider a well known band.
When Martin came out with 'New Day', it was a huge mistake. He could have used his name and TULL. That would have at least gotten him more buzz with places unfamiliar with New Day Magazine.
I'll continue my services regardless of what Martin can spend. I'm just a Tull Promoter

I've seen Martin play with his band and he seems to be enjoying it, maybe he's not looking to be the headliner these days, getting back to playing for his own enjoyment possibly.

By the way, I just read that Martin sings in "A Trick of Memory" (the song, I mean)... do you guys know if it's true? I had always thought he was too shy to sing, for some stupid reason.

Sorry but I don't get where Martin is coming from on this interview. He says he is playing the blues, and suggests that is the true Jethro Tull, and seems to diss the prog stuff etc....but he plays the Brick stuff and Minstrel stuff in his gigs. Tull moved on (thanks to IA) from being a white blues band to being something unique in 1969, with "Stand Up"....remember that album Martin... I thought it was Mick Abrahams who was the die-hard blues man..

I'm new here, so excuse my naive question. Does Ian have a soft spot for Martin at all, or is even Martin "business and business only" for him? I've thought about this before now and then, and it came to mind again when I read that they haven't spoken for three years. Ian never says anything bad about Martin, and often it does sound like Ian jokes about him with affection. But Ian is very hard to read emotianally. He always has this intelligent and humorous way of speaking - a bit distant.

Cliffhangers and twisty relationships, long drawn out conversations and the occasional lustful glance across a room.
