|  | The 'official' Martin Barre's AND Band

Quote from Jon Noyce,
"So, Martin Barre's New Day band now officially exists. It has begun. We have just returned home from our first foray playing a handful of live shows in the UK. All went well, better than we could have wished for, in fact. The band, well, sounds like a band! Unrestrained, concentrated, musically and personally rewarding. Perfecto."
Interesing set of descriptors.

Livewire's delight as it hosts Tull guitarist
http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/Livewire....tail/story.html
LIVEWIRE Youth Music Project saw Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre kick off his UK tour with the first outing of his new band.
Opening the night was Dan Crisp, who is a good friend of Martin. He shares similarities with modern popular singer-songwriters such as Newton Faulkner, and showcased not only acoustic guitar prowess, but a voice rich in personality.
He opened with a beautiful cover of My Way Home by Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton. He also brought out a few of his own tracks such as the slow and melancholic Hollywood and the catchier Far From Home.
Then Martin took to the stage and from the off his virtuosity was clear to see especially in Murphy's Paw and various instrumentals featuring many blistering solos. Minstrel saw Martin bring on vocalist John Mitchell, whose deep, smoky voice was very suited to the bluesier tracks. Martin then treated the crowd to a Jethro Tull song that had never been played live before.
One of the highlights of the show was witnessing the various talents of Frank Mead, whose flute/sax/harmonica playing was at times as spectacular as the guitar work. He also sang on a few tracks including Sugar Babe, a rock'n'roll tune that picked up the show's pace and received rapturous applause from a thrilled crowd. Following a brief break the show continued with a trio of instrumentals each with a distinct style and more virtuoso soloing. In fact, the set featured a wide range of styles, from pure rock'n'roll to blues and prog-folk and one song in particular had a wonderful renaissance folk flavour brilliantly augmented with the use of bouzouki. Special guest Maggie Reeday joined for a couple of numbers and her voice deep, soulful voice and charismatic stage presence on A Blues For All Reasons proved show-stopping.
Topping a fabulous evening's entertainment, came an encore of Aqualung, which prompted a sing-along from the audience, bringing a huge, infectious smile to Martin's face.
Martin had previously mentioned how he fell in love with Livewire, and after that display of brilliance Livewire has fallen in love with him, too.
