I'm just curious, is anyone familiar with the opus and a music of this folk musician? From 'our' more famous hero Ian, he distinguishes only by the letter 'A'. in the middle of his name. They are both somewhat physically similar too.
As far as I can see there is only one video of him on the Youtube.

They are both somewhat physically similar too. pennyblackmusic.co.uk/Home/Details?Id=26938Ian A. Anderson - Please Re-Adjust Your Time – The Early Blues & Psych-Folk Years 1967-1972 by Tommy Gunnarsson “Ian Anderson”, you might say, “isn’t that the guy in Jethro Tull who stands on one leg and plays the flute?” Well, yes, it is. But this is another Ian Anderson, who added an 'A' to his stage name to avoid being mistaken for the flute guy. Ian A Anderson began playing in his hometown of Weston-Super-Mare in the mid-60s, first of all as a member of Backwater Jook Band, but then he later moved to Bristol and became involved in the growing country blues scene there. Ian’s recording debut came with the trio Anderson Jones Jackson (with guitarist Al Jones and harmonica player Elliott Jackson) in 1967, and his first solo album, ‘Stereo Death Breakdown’ (released as Ian Anderson’s Country Blues Band), came out on Liberty in 1969. Alongside his music career, Ian was also the founder and editor of the monthly magazine 'fRoots' (originally 'The Southerm Rag', then later 'Folk Roots)', which was published for forty years, from 1979 until 2019, with Ian being the editor all those years. He is currently hosting a monthly podcast, ‘Podwireless’, which focuses on folk, roots and “unpop” music from all over the world.

There is the story told by Dave Pegg himself that he ignored the initial phone calls from IA regarding joining Tull because he thought the calls were from Ian A. Anderson. Apparently he had no time for Fairport during his time as editor of Folk Roots magazine and they didn't like him either !
