Jethro Tull will hit the road in the UK in March for a 23 date tour. These shows will feature an assortment of ‘Best of Tull’ repertoire with some rare gems thrown in for good measure. Support to be announced.
Ian says about this tour “Of all the music recorded by Jethro Tull over the years, there are several songs which have rarely, if ever, been performed in public. We look forward to introducing some of this material to the setlist in 2010 along with some of the tried and trusty favourites. Martin Barre and I, along with long-standing drummer Doane Perry and old friends David Goodier and John O'Hara will bring variety and depth to the concerts with the aid of a few forgotten musical instruments currently being dug out of the rusty skip and dusted down for action. (I know I put that Sousaphone somewhere safe....)”

I got my ticket for the Glasgow show this morning. March 30th in the Glasgow Pavilion, same venue they played last time out. Its a smallish traditional theatre built in 1904, so the leg room was designed for people of that era who were all about 5 foot 6 inches tall, so it isnt the best for the size of people nowadays haha Any way the acoustics are always good in there and thats the most important thing

I think it was called the Royal Concert Hall, or something like that. Am I close? Jeff

yes thats correct, the glasgow royal concert hall. Although its probably not as old as you may think. it was actually only opened in 1990! i have seen an ian anderson solo show there as well. as a hall that was custom designed for music, especially classical music, the acoustics are stunning.

This story would fit nicely into the "Your Weirdest Venue?" thread of our Tull Tales Department. Jeff
