All the young Dudes - BBC4 last night featured lots of Tull clips and Ian being interviewed by Paul Morley about his fashion sense, or lack of it, during the overcoat / cod-piece days. Repeated tonight around midnight and then much later. Nothing new mentioned apart from a rejected cod-piece design.

Well thanks, Jioffe. I'm sure I'll whittle away at it, despite disappointments! We just would never get anything like that here.

IA is on BBC Breakfast here in the UK today at 8.45am. Short notice I know but I've just got up from my slumbers and found out. Should you miss it I think that there is a view again procedure on the BBC website.

Someone shouted me downstairs and I caught a glimpse of him on the sofa at the end saying Thank You!
How do I see it on the website? Thanks Maddog - I take it he was promoting his solo tour ?

Lasted round 7-8 minutes at a guess. Towards the end it featured a snippet from TOTP and "Solstice Bells" where he mimed badly and the studio discussion briefly centered around the Sunday concert. Seems the "event" will be on all day with IA's band playing in the evening. I'm sure it will eventually end up on youtube ;D

Here is a link with more info on it: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00kc752I actually had the chance to sit down and watch this 90 minute programme last night and really enjoyed it. It had some interesting footage of blues in the 50's and 60's, mainly in Britain, of the evolving blues boom of that time along with comments from Tony McPhee, Chris Dreja (of the Yardbirds), Mick Fleetwood, Jack Bruce etc and of course IA and Mick Abrahams. There were a few pieces of film of the early Tull lineup towards the end of the programme which was, for me, the "icing on the cake". If you missed it, BBC iplayer has it at the moment at www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00kc752/Blues_Britannia_Can_Blue_Men_Sing_the_Whites/Maddog

I saw this show as well, along with a program centering around Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac, a whole bunch of favourite blues acts from "Later - With Jools Holland" and a showing of Eric Clapton/Stevie Winwood from Madison Square Garden. It just shows the BBC CAN provide gems like this when they want to. Sure makes a nice change from the usual dross they broadcast. Check out www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/programmes/schedules and use the "search" facility, you'll unearth some real good stuff.

It's slightly perplexing as to why all this good stuff is suddenly appearing on TV/radio all at once, however we mustn't complain ;D
Interesting photo of JP in the studio. For those who may not know, this studio was in his home and when not broadcasting from Broadcasting House in London, his guest musicians played in what was the equivalent of his living room etc. Up until his death, he was was one of the last remaining radio presenters to actually play vinyl.

Maybe they've got a new programmer pushing for it - or whoever makes those decisions.

Maybe they've got a new programmer pushing for it - or whoever makes those decisions. It's a very quaint and old world institution is the BBC. However they try to drag themselves into the 21st century they seem to fail. It was only the fact that Radio's Caroline, London et al appeared off the coast of the UK in the 60's that finally persuaded the powers that be that the "kids" might like to hear some modern "beat combos" instead of Bernard Herman and the Northern Dance Orchestra. Whilst I readily appreciate the programmes on offer on BBC4, especially the recent ones on British blues, in the back of my mind I'm thinking "the dross will be back soon - anyone for a cookery programme or someone moving house paid for by the TV company" This is the most listened to morning presenter, Terry Wogan on BBC Radio 2 who once recorded some records such as And there I rest my case ;D

You'll be watching TV? Not doing some sort of national penance for USA-England tie...like self-flagellation or ritual WAG sacrifice?

Poor boy - is he in upper managemnet now ?

Didn't Anderson and Glascock look fantastic in the Heavy Horses video - pure class. Mr Rees - you were correct - another 20 years ..............

In answer to your other questions - in order: Probably No & don't know Yes Yes ;D

Prog Rock Britannia: An Observation in Three Movements Friday 3 June 2011, 23:55 on BBC Four Documentary about progressive music and the generation of bands that were involved, from the international success stories of Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson and Jethro Tull to the trials and tribulations of lesser-known bands such as Caravan and Egg.
The film is structured in three parts, charting the birth, rise and decline of a movement famed for complex musical structures, weird time signatures, technical virtuosity and strange, and quintessentially English, literary influences.
It looks at the psychedelic pop scene that gave birth to progressive rock in the late 1960s, the golden age of progressive music in the early 1970s, complete with drum solos and gatefold record sleeves, and the over-ambition, commercialisation and eventual fall from grace of this rarefied musical experiment at the hands of punk in 1977.
Contributors include Robert Wyatt, Mike Oldfield, Pete Sinfield, Rick Wakeman, Phil Collins, Arthur Brown, Carl Palmer and Ian Anderson.[/b] Prog Rock Britannia BBC home page www.bbc.co.uk/musictv/progbritannia/

Have been enjoying BBC4's repeats of the 1976 Top of the Pops in the past few months. If they haven't wiped it, the 'Solstice Bells' episode should be on this week or next. It may have been played again on a subsequent week, can't remember (I was only 11!). The BBC4 shows are on Thursday nights at 7.30 and again on Saturday night at around midnight.

Thanks for reminding about TOTP - thanks for reminding me how old I was in 1976 ;D (older than you - just)
