The UK's LARGEST MECHANICAL PUPPET begins it's journey-
The Man Engine, the largest mechanical puppet ever constructed in the UK, kicks off its so-called Resurrection Tour this Easter Saturday (March 31) at Geevor Mine on the north-west coast of Cornwall. The giant construction makes the most of a narrative around the rich mining heritage of Cornwall, as popularised in the recent BBC TV series "Poldark", which was filmed in the area. This video, filmed at Geevor on the Cornish coastline last night, is introduced by creator Will Coleman, of Golden Tree Productions, and was taken on the last rehearsal before the public opening tomorrow. It shows the Man Engine rising into the night sky, then ends with a firework display. The Man Engine is three times taller than a double-decker bus, at 11.2m.
I saw a photograph in the paper today of the Women's British cycling persuit team and I couldn't help thinking, "Are they wearing Ian's old codpiece cast offs?"
And who comes here to wish me well? A sweetly-scented angel fell, She laid her head upon my disbelief, And bathed me with her ever-smile.
1)Doing the limbo dance 2)Dodging a bullet a la Keanu Reeves in THE MATRIX 3)Returning home after a visit to his chiropractor 4)Being levitated by a magician 5)Something else? Any ideas?
After the negative critical reaction to A PASSION PLAY, maybe Mr. Anderson saw a future in acting instead of music, and was auditioning for a role in 1973's THE EXORCIST.
I am also puzzled... It looks like it might say "jamin" backwards or, maybe, "Hi Mat" frontwards .
After he left TULL, if bass guitarist Jeffrey Hammond decided to return to music and create his own band, "JEFFRO TULL" would have been a good name for it!
jackinthegreen: Cream without Eric??? Santana without Carlos?? and not even with a stand-in player.....you're easily pleased, I reckon most people would not be happy to say the least...

jackinthegreen: If it was Scott that got Covid would they have played the gigs without a drummer?

jackinthegreen: "No flute, no Tull".......hmmmm tell that to MB when he's doing all the Tull stuff..

jackinthegreen: and I've seen Ian doing his one man thing with just the backing track too, but that's not billed as a Jethro Tull concert.....
May 3, 2022 20:19:44 GMT
jackinthegreen: I do agree he's brilliant at playing to his own backing tracks though

ash: My first answer stands in stone

jackinthegreen: Cheers MD, I can only see the link from the "Home" page, but disappears when looking at threads etc, so find if I open it up in a new window it then plays constantly

smint100: Good Lord, why did no one tell me about the radio.net! I've spent a joyful afternoon in the garden watching the strawberries ripen - I mean, editing a book - and listening to unadulterated Tull. Heaven!
