It's not "Ian Anderson Band" since 2017. It's a new Jethro Tull's line-up. In fact Ian said that Joe Parrish is the 5th guitar player of Jethro Tull, after Mick Abrahms, Tony Iommi, Martin Barre and Florian Ophale.

Sorry, I should have said "Ian Anderson's band (whatever he's calling it this week)" Appears at present it's The Jethro Tull Band. Which is not technically the same as Jethro Tull. But that's an argument for another thread

I'd place Kit Morgan in that list (Rubbing Elbows and Orchestral tours) which would make young master Parrish #6th. jethrotull.com/the-attic/past-band-members-and-guests/kit-morgan/

All good things come to an end I suppose but thanks Florian for being so great on guitar with Jethro Tull. TO THE FANS:
Dear friends, I would like to take the moment to thank you all! It's been a fantastic time touring around the world and seeing so many of you at countless shows - again and again.
Lots of great memories and moments on and off stage. Good friendships have grown over the years and I am looking forward to seeing you again in the future to come.
Thank you!! Yours, Flo

Big news.It was great to have and hear Florian all these many years. He will be missed. I think Ian meant Kit, who played a lot more than Tommy I.

Obvious question: Is the young man a Tull fan ?

ALL ABOUT JOE Joe was born in Bedfordshire in 1995, and at the tender age of three was turned on to music after hearing Trevor Jones’s score for the two-part mini–series “Merlin” around Christmas time in 1998. Guitar entered the picture at age six in the form of a basic three-quarter size acoustic, which five years later was replaced by a Fender Pacifica serving valiantly through the learning of parents’ surviving vinyls from the 70s, including records by Yes, Deep Purple, Steeleye Span and a curious LP that appeared to be a fictitious newspaper.
His teen years brought with them an obsession with the heavier side of rock music, with Iron Maiden being the main recipients of this adolescent adulation. Early band involvements included such tasteful acts as “Guillotine City” and the irritatingly precocious ‘Statues Of Our Minds”.
Following further musical exploits both live and in the studio that explored the worlds of rock, folk and metal, a consistent enthusiasm for the progressive side of things lead down the inevitable road to classical. He went on to study classical composition and arrangement at university, graduating with a bachelor’s degree from the London College of Music.
Following his degree Joe continued to arrange and compose for classical ensembles and provide music for both commercial and concert use. He also teaches privately, and provides other guitar services as both a live and recording session musician.
His personal projects include the aptly named Albion, a four-piece outfit which he co-founded in an attempt to combine the true spirit of age-old folk music with rock and metal after amassing material in this vein for a number of years. They currently perform a mixture of full band shows and stripped back acoustic gigs across the UK, singing mostly about swords in stones and ladies in lakes.
Solo endeavours include numerous contemporary guitar arrangements of orchestral works, the results being described by the wordsmiths at Classic FM as “fully rocktageous instrumental metal workouts”. Extended acoustic compositions and works for string orchestra, string quartet and chamber orchestra have also accompanied these, inspired by the works of composers such as Vaughan Williams, Holst, Tallis, Finzi, Warlock, Shostakovich and Stravinsky.

How’s this going to affect new album(s)? That’s what I want to know! Kind of exciting and wondering if he can add some help to the vocals.

Incredible musician, surely over qualified to play Tulls music...….he is a classical/jazz master, how is he going to be satisfied playing stuff so easy for him...…..he must need the work...…. Don't get me wrong, I am a lifelong Jethro Tull / Ian Anderson fan, but this new guy is surely punching well below his weight.

Hello Joe Parrish Welcome to TULL 2020First of all I am in total SHOCK about what has just happened... Being a TULL Fan makes this normal. To those who cried and shed so many tears for the changes that were made, it's what happens every time. I'm always looking for new TULL and new ideas which can occur with every change in musicians we all LOVE.
If being a TULL Fan was easy we would all be complaining about something else I'm certain.
For the rest of 2019 I will be so happy knowing there is more to come in the future and that makes me smile. As we all learn more about Joe Parrish let's assume he will bring something unique and special to the band. Otherwise let's enjoy every moment with an open mind and TRUE TULL understanding that things will get better.
All I know is that since 1973 I've never been disappointed with what continues to be the BEST MUSIC EVER

and why did Florian want to leave..... We may never know every reason but his wife and family are certainly a HUGE factor. That's what happens when musicians decide what is the most important part of their lives. LOVE

It’s likely the best gig he’s ever had and will probably enjoy the hell out of it. I guess you could say that about him in relation to joining any rock band but there are some seriously good musicians that have passed thru Tull and it’s more challenging music then you think.

I think it's all about recognition as well as enjoying the music. Flo will have built a large amount of respect within the music business and I would suggest that the offers to perform with other artist will flood in and as it seems he's left on excellent terms with IA, guest appearances with Tull may be on offer especially when the band visit Germany. So it's welcome to young master Joe - enjoy the experience. Danse Macabre - Metal Cover - JPJ67,609 views•Mar 24, 2016 Joe Parrish 1.87K subscribers

As long as you can be objective about a new album you should expect something AWESOME
In 2012 and 2014 the negativity towards Florian was based on anger over Martin Barre's departure. There are still those who hold a grudge towards Ian too and every member of the current band which is silly.
All the changes since 1968 have had similar outbursts for somewhat personal resentment about which members left. Being a fan of TULL means you should expect change no matter what the reason. 2020 is going to be EPIC !!!!

I think that the shock is how remarkable Is the fact that Ian modify the band in this moment of its long history . This shows that some projects to make . 😘

Don't get me wrong, I am a lifelong Jethro Tull / Ian Anderson fan, but this new guy is surely punching well below his weight. So IA should have employed a lower skilled guitarist like Flo, or was he over qualified too ? I'm sure any guitarist with talent and ambition would work with IA if offered the opportunity, instead of sitting at home making Youtube videos... Looking forward to what Mr Parrish can bring us, live or studio.

A guitar duel Martin vs Florian would be something great! Maybe one day be possible Forum exclusive from Forum member Oldwebby: Ha! It’s already happened… Well, maybe not a duel, but… I’ve been sorting through my old photos looking for pix for Vol 2 of our A New Day book. I found this low-quality one taken with my pocket camera in Amsterdam in June 2003. The JT boys played a song with support act Masha. Her guitarist was Flo, who presumably had permission to hand his homework in late that week... Post it on the forum if wished. Cheers, MartinJust a reminder from June 2003 of where Flo's involvement with Tull sort of began. It's instances and photos like this that make things so interesting. Old Webby is 102.
