Blodwyn Pig was a British blues rock band, founded in 1968 by guitarist–vocalist–songwriter Mick Abrahams. Abrahams left Jethro Tull, due to a falling-out with Tull vocalist Ian Anderson, after their debut album, This Was, was released, and formed Blodwyn Pig with Jack Lancaster (saxophone and flute), Andy Pyle (bass guitar), and Ron Berg (drums). Ex-Yes and future Flash guitarist Peter Banks became one of several guitarists to succeed Abrahams after he left to form his own band for a time. With Abrahams and Lancaster in the lead, Blodwyn Pig recorded two albums, Ahead Rings Out in 1969 and Getting To This in 1970.[1] Both reached the Top Ten of the UK Albums Chart and charted in the United States; Ahead Rings Out displayed a jazzier turn on the heavy blues–rock that formed the band's core rooted in the British 1960s rhythm and blues scene from which sprang groups like The Yardbirds, Free and eventually Led Zeppelin. Saxophonist–singer Lancaster (who often played two horns at once, like his idol Rahsaan Roland Kirk[citation needed]) was at least as prominent in the mix as Abrahams; some critics[who?] thought this contrast bumped the band toward a freer, more experimental sound on the second album. The single "Summer Day" from the album Getting To This failed to chart, but the quartet became something of a favourite on the underground concert circuit. Largely due to Abrahams's disillusionment with the business side of music, Blodwyn Pig eventually became an on-again, off- again concern; Lancaster at one point became a record producer, and Pyle eventually joined Savoy Brown. Over the years since their original formation, Blodwyn Pig reformed several times, usually with Abrahams and Lancaster leading the group, and recorded two more albums in the 1990s. .

PATTO – the JOHN HALSEY INTERVIEW
PATTO – the JOHN HALSEY INTERVIEW Patto, apart from being one of the finest (purely subjective, of course) bands this country ever produced, were not blessed with good fortune. Forever on the verge of making it really big, they broke up after six years of knocking on the door and finding no-one home. Subsequently, two of their number died while the other two were involved in a terrible car smash which left one with severe physical injuries and the other with severe mental problems. Drummer John Halsey is now the only Patto member who could possible give us an interview. Mike Patto and Ollie Halsall are both gone, while bassist Clive Griffiths apparently doesn't even recall being in a band! Despite bearing the scars of the accident (Halsey walks with a pronounced limp), John was only too pleased to submit to a Terrascopic grilling - an interview which took place in the wonderful Suffolk pub he runs with his wife Elaine. Bancroft and I spent a lovely afternoon and evening with the Halseys, B & B'd in the shadow of a 12th Century church cupboard and returned to London the next morning with one of the most enjoyable interviews either of us has ever done. John Halsey: I started playing drums because two mates who lived in my road in North Finchley (N. London), where I'm from, wanted to form a group. This was years and years ago, 1958, 1959. Want to see the photo? PT: Oh, look at that! 1959! Me, with a microphone inside me guitar that used to go out through me Mum's tape recorder, and if you put 'Record' and 'Play' on together, it'd act like an amplifier.

Perhaps, as Prial suggests, Hammond’s relationship to the Vanderbilts did him more good in his early years in music than his social skills. There are questions unanswered and undeveloped in this biography related to Hammond the man, such as his falling out with Aretha Franklin or his quick parting with Dylan. Each chapter of this book comes (another assault on your pocketbook) with a wonderful ‘‘discography’’ that should slow down the pace of reading but will contribute to a great start in building a library of American music of the 20th century. It is quite something how much music Hammond had a role in, and this portion of the book is an important reminder of the times and genres Hammond touched. As with all biographies there are problems and limitations. For those of us raised in the second half of the century, The Producer fails to deliver the same magic surrounding the discovery and signing of ‘‘our’’ heroes as it does around the early stars.

I have always vaguely been a Dr Who fan, and although I don't think that stylistically or emotionally it has reached the heights that it did with Jon Pertwee, and even Patrick Troughton back in the day, I have followed much of the series since it came back in 2005. I lost interest half way through David Tennant's tenure in the driving seat of the TARDIS and only came back on board half way through whatshisface's seasons, but I have been massively impressed by Dear Friends, Peter Capaldi, who has brought back the curmudgeonly element that I feel has been Welcome to another issue of the magazine, which missing from the role in recent years. each issue I reiterate that I am not just proud to be the editor of, but that it never ceases to amaze me I lost interest in Dr Who for some years mainly that it has been going for so many weeks without because I had a lodger who was so irritating about a break.

2 Another happened last year when the Rolling Stones dragged Mick Taylor away from undeserved obscurity, and played a series of barnstorming gigs including Glastonbury Festival, and another is going on at the moment and started last night. King Crimson have been, unarguable, one of the most idiosyncratic and artistically interesting bands for forty five years now, since they formed in 1968. Leader Robert Fripp left the music business some years ago, and King Crimson seem to have been on indefinite hiatus since about 2008. However, last year Fripp announced that the band will return, and this week, the new seven piece line-up played their first shows. The silence surrounding these shows is deafening. I spoke to Jakko Jakszyk who is the second guitarist and vocalist with the new King Crimson, last week on Facebook. He was understandably cagey about Dear Friends, what was happening. I asked how the rehearsals were going, and he said that they seemed OK but Welcome to another issue of the Gonzo Weekly. told me to ask him again after they had done a show or two.

JETHRO TULL BIOGRAPHIE Ende 1967 Versammelten Sich Vier
JETHRO TULL BIOGRAPHIE Ende 1967 versammelten sich vier struppige Möchtegern in der südenglischen Stadt Luton, Bedfordshire. Die naiven, unverbildeten Talente von Ian Anderson, Mick Abrahams, Glenn Cornick und Clive Bunker verbinden sich versuchsweise um das originale „Jethro Tull“Line-up zu formieren. Die Gruppe etablierte sich als die neue ,feste Band in Londons berühmtem Marquee Club, wenn auch nach einigen fatalen Startidentitäten. („ Navy Blue“, „Ian Henderson´s Bag ò Blues“, „Jethro Toe“ und der bestimmt selbstmörderischen “ Candy Coloured Rain”) Im März 1968 gelang es ihnen, als Nachfolge für das neue Gesicht der blues-based britischen Underground Szene zu gelten. Warteschlangen bildeten sich vor den Häusern , Donnerstagnacht, wenn sie im Marquee auftraten. Es folgten Auftritte im Hyde Park und im Sunbury Jazz und Blues Festival im Sommer ´68 , die Band bekam einen immer höher steigenden Wiedererkennungswert mit der Veröffentlichung des Albums This Was, welches … zunächst als Hommage von allen an die Erbschaft des Blues…, schon auf den breiteren Einfluß hinwies, der offensichtlich in die post-Mick Abrahams Zeit floss. Nach personellen und musikalischen Differenzen verließ der Original-Guitarist, Mick Abrahams die Band und die Tull boys nahmen den noch unbekannten Martin Barre als Ersatz mit „an Bord“ und produzierten das Landmark Album „Stand UP“ Anfang Januar 1969. Glücklicherweise wurde die neue Platte „Stand UP“ ein großer Erfolg und ebnete den Weg zu neuen Möglichkeiten in Europa und den USA. Ian Andersons Einfluß von klassischen, jazz-,folk- und ethnischen Musikformen machten das eklektische Resultat zum frühen Markenzeichen der Band und erreichte Nummer eins in den UK Album- Charts. TULL zunächst im Schatten von Led Zeppelin und anderen begann den explosiven Aufstieg in die schwindelerregenden Höhen des US – Starrummels, gipfelnd , während der nächsten drei Jahre auf den Titelseiten der Time und Rolling Stone Magazine, fünf Nächte im Los Angeles Forum und drei Nächte im Madison Square Garden, New York.

Hi Marc, This Is Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. Q
IA: Hello, Marc Allan please. Q: This is Marc. IA: Hi Marc, this is Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. Q: Hi Ian, how are you? IA: I'm very well, I've just been speaking repeatedly to a young lady, I mean quite a young lady from apparently on a phone number that's calling for the last 10 minutes. (laughs) Q: Oh wow. IA: And finally had to explain what I was trying to do and that her mom looked up your telephone number and I'd got the, well, whoever gave me the phone number had got it wrong. So somewhere out there in a suburb not too far from you is a young lady who is very bemused by the fact that some strange English person from a rock band called Jethro Tull, which she'd obviously never heard, (laughs) trying to reach her to talk to her about our forthcoming tour. Q: Gee, would've been kind of exciting if you had reached a fan, you know, and then somebody was really thrilled and kept you on the phone. IA: Actually, I think the girl had heard of us, but when she said to her mom, she said, "What's that, a delivery service?" (laughs) 'Cause I thought it was gonna be like she was gonna get through to her mom, I said mom, Mom said, "What, let me speak to him."
