Preston, I don't know how you're finding all these obscure flute bands, but I'm loving it! I just sampled the Italian, German and Spanish bands you've just posted and they're all excellent. A lot of Tull-influenced bands out there, which I had no idea even existed. Still got a lot more flute band and Rob vids to look at, though. Good stuff!

Very Tullish album cover and title from Malibran. Nice acoustic and flute opening as well.
BTW, that's a great avatar you have there, Preston. As usual, Paul came through in a big way!

I guess this thread definately proves that the flute is used a lot in prog and rock music. However, the question of whether these bands were influenced by Tull or if Ian was influenced by them is a difficult one. I guess its good to remember that music that features the flute does not automatically have to be associated with Tull. In fact many of the bands featured here have nothing in common with Tull except for the use of the flute. For many ,thats about the only connection full stop, as the flute style is in no way similar to Ians. Anyway I hope the thread has beeen enlightening. I am reaching the end of the bands to post but have about 3/4 more. I wish I could post MP3 samples though as there are many other bands which strongly feature the flute which I have not been able to find on You tube.
Jeff ,I also see similarities to Dharma for one in the delrium track

This was a great thread, Preston, one which I will return to many times because I haven't had the chance to listen to all of the videos of those flute bands that were previously unknown to me.
Several of them that I did hear definitely do appear to have been influenced by Tull, and not the other way around, because I would think they came after Tull had arrived on the scene. But then again, Ian was more influenced by Roland Kirk than he has ever admitted, so perhaps all these flutists owe more of a debt to Kirk than to Ian!

Just located two more You tube entries for a couple of flute driven bands that I have been looking for
First up Lisker from Spain their CD contains a lot more flute than this track which is the weakest on their hard to find self titled CD
Gnidrolog from 1972 from the UK from their Lady Lake CD .This features loads of Tull like flute from 3.oom a great track. they are sort of recognised along with Gravy train at being proto prog.

Hope that folks enjoy this one. still have a few bands ythat I am searching for

I am still managing to locate on you tube some examples of one or two other great bands which heavily feature the flute This one is from Italy Quella Vecchia Locinda from their debut CD. This release features loads of Tull inspired flute. the track here Prolog features some mean flute from about 4.22
Still searching for examples from a few others including Triode Bob Downes Grovjobb

at last I have been able to find an example of Belgium flute rockers Waterloo from their first Battle release. Now really difficult to get hold of. Not a favourite of mine but the majority of tracks feature the flute heavily and obviously inspired by Tull

Tasvallan Presidentti guitar player Jukka Tolonen released a solo disc in 1972 called Summer games featuring lots of tasty flute . Here is an example of his jazz tinged composition A warm trip with Taija which of course features the flute
Wedding song featured below is a rather super composition with beautful flute
