Guitar legend Martin Barre (of Jethro Tull) is taking Aqualung on tour to celebrate
it's 50th anniversary. Ahead of Ottawa stop (July 6 at the Shenkman Arts Centre)
we covered his early influences, whether or not he enjoyed working with Tony Iommi,
how much fun this tour is going to be & what it means for diehard Tull fans.
Martin also reveals his 'eureka!' moment with bluegrass prodigy Billy Strings.

Martin Barre brings ‘Aqualung’ to Brantford’s Sanderson Centre LINKJethro Tull guitarist to play the classic album in its entirety, Graham Rockingham writes
1971 was a monumental year in the history of rock, witnessing the release of so many
great albums — “Sticky Fingers” by the Rolling Stones, “Who’s Next” by The Who,
“Led Zeppelin IV,” “Pearl” by Janis Joplin and, not to be forgotten, “Aqualung” by Jethro Tull.
“Aqualung” was the British band’s fourth album, but the first to gain traction in
North America where it rapidly rose up the charts into the Billboard Top 10.
Over the next few years, Jethro Tull would become one of the biggest acts on the planet,
selling out the L.A. Forum five nights in a row in 1975.
For its time, “Aqualung” was revolutionary, combining English folk with hard rock.
It’s lyrics were both literary and subversive, painting caricatures of consumptive perverts
and schoolgirl prostitutes, while songs like “My God,” “Wind Up” and “Hymn 43” took direct aim
at organized religion. The LP was banned from the airways in Spain and vilified in the U.S. bible belt.
Ian Anderson’s flute got much of the attention — it was so strange to hear an orchestral
instrument played so maniacally on a rock record. But, it was Martin Barre’s stunning
guitar that provided the backbone to unforgettable tracks like “Locomotive Breath,”
“Wind Up,” “Cross-Eyed Mary,” and, of course, the title track.
“It was an era when there were a lot of guitar players and they were all trying to be
rock star famous, everyone was vying for attention,” says longtime Tull lead guitarist
Martin Barre in an interview from his home studio in Devon, England.
“Everybody was vying for attention. So, it was a relief for people to hear a different
instrument which was why the flute got a lot of attention.
“But the songs were very rooted in the guitar parts.
The flute was decorative then, much more so than in later years.”
Barre was a key member of Jethro Tull from 1968 to 2012 when Anderson dissolved the band
to perform under his own name. Barre has released several solo albums over the years and
still performs much of the Tull canon with his own band.
On July 12, Barre brings his band to the Sanderson Centre in Brantford on a tour originally
designed to mark the 50th anniversary of “Aqualung.” The pandemic delayed things, so he’ll
actually be marking the album’s 51st anniversary, and he intends to perform it in its entirety.

Images by Mike Cotton  Mike Cotton "So last night was quite the night! I got to catch the Martin Barre show
in Brantford which was excellent. They played the entire Aqualung album as well as a
bunch of other Tull tunes which was alot of fun! Its great to see how excellent Martin
still sounds. His vibrato is fantastic and you can tell that he still just really enjoys playing
even after all these years. Its also great to see that the band (which is excellent by the way)
has established themselves as a very high-quality touring act. They had a great crowd that
really responded well to the performance, and as a bonus we got to see Clive Bunker join
them on the entire performance of Aqualung! Martins drummer Darby Todd is an absolute
beast of a drummer, and a buddy of mine from my time in England so it was
great catch up with him, as well as hang with Martin, Clive and the rest of the guys!"
