Martin Barre performs classic “Jethro Tull” with original band member Clive Bunker

In 1969, a band of four English musicians arrived in New York and literally took America by storm. Over the next 50 years, this legendary band accumulated over 65 million record sales and a following of loyal fans that are the envy of rock bands worldwide! This band was Jethro Tull.

At the centre of Tull’s unique sound is guitarist Martin Barre. Renowned for his formidable mastery of historic rifts, power chords and soaring melodic solos.

Martin is celebrating the history of Jethro Tull, with a ‘Tour of Tours’. He will be bringing a spectacular show with his touring band, featuring Dan Crisp on lead vocals, Alan Thomson on keyboard, Darby Todd on drums, plus very special guest – Clive Bunker, who performed with Tull for many years and was an important part of their success.
The show will also feature a special multimedia presentation that, together with the music, highlights the 50 years of Jethro Tull musical career.

It is the most significant Tull show of the past two decades, truly a very special concert that will do justice to the legend.
