You're welcome, Preston. I come from southeast of Spain as i've ever told in some others posts. I hadn't ever listened before Herba d'hameli, they come from Barcelona, north of Spain, as i've read at their website, they sound pretty good, more folk than rock, but i like very much too, thx for showing this band. There were a good bunch of progressive rock bands in Spain during the seventies and eighties, but the most representive imitating the Tull style was Ñu, and if you don't know them, then look at these guys right now and let your own opinion I watched them live at the eighties and they were awesome. Try!

Janu I really like Nu. I have their Cuentos De Ayer Y De Hoy release. There were some great flute led bands from Spain Lisker Gotic Kotebel also usually feature flute strongly.
Anyway from Riga ,Sejane + Grasis with wonderful live performances of Dance In The Hills and By the sea ( I love the flute parts at 1.34 and at 2.34 ) . Its hard to define their music but currently one of my favourite flute led bands.

Thanks To keep up a Spanish theme within this thread Here is Mago de Oz and their Kelpie cover Oh yeah, Preston, Mago de Oz, that's for sure I like too, I'd attend one gig of them, was terrific, , as they are a band much more younger than Ñu or Labanda, of 90's years, quite different eras, their style could name it folk metal. The video of them related by you is one of their best tunes for me, some parts looks like Tull sound. Again with Labanda we couldn't forget their best well-known tune : FIESTA CAMPESTRE, pure folk to dance around a bonfire. Shame the tune isn't complete, but you can figure what I mean. Thanks Preston to keep up this issue of folk rock bands of my country, i'm delighted for

Jeff I agree the Mago de Oz cover is sweet Janu an example of Kotebel from Spain I think that their latest line up and release have now discarded the flute

That's really a great cover. It's cool enough that the difference in language did not bother me at all, as sometimes it does with these types of things. Jeff Jeff, I think that when the music is good, is good. English isn't my native language and i'm listening Tull music since I was a child, most of the stories Ian sings in his songs I don't understand them at all, and this doesn't bother me cause Tull is my ever favourite band, also it's great you like Mago de Oz. Preston, Kotebel sounds great, such a wonderful flute playing, nonetheless they don't come from Spain,as i've read at their website they come from Hispanoamérica, or SouthAmerica, I guess from Mexico, and I hadn't listened them before, thanks for the recommendation, Preston. And now a great surprise for you all mates of thi great Tull site, Luétiga, a folk band, not rock , they come from the native land of my wife, Cantabria, in the north of Spain, wherever you walk you'll find green landscapes, high mountains, wide rivers, all is good there as the music of this band, hope you like. Jeff, they sing in their regional slang, even i don`t understand some they're telling , but doesn't bother me

I have it on 10" vinyl, but havenn't played it for years, thanks for the link, it made me check out whether it was on i-tunes to download but seems it's passed them by.

I believe that they were from the Basque region in Spain Wow Preston, They sound pretty good, I didn't know them, a great surprise, yes, they come from Basque Country, that's how they wanted to be named, I enjoyed a lot, thanks for posting, mate Now another progressive folk rock band from Basque Country, Itoiz, they started playing in 1974 and come from Eibar, pretty good sound of flute, too. They sing in basque slang, nothing to do with spanish language.

Unforgiveable on my part that i was forgettin' my favorite folk band in the 90's year, they come from Cantabria, too. The woman is English and married the singer, Marcos, and she settled down in the land of my wife. Enjoy dudes, Atlántica

Quizz ..glad the All about Eve cover was enjoyed Janu thanks for the contribution to the thread . I liked Itoiz ..I was familiar with them before . I also enjoyed the vibe of Atlantica.
Do you know of El bicho ? They are a sort of flamenco fusion band. Their flute player is really good.

Preston, excellent the germans Andromeda, the flute stunning, real and good progressive theme you've showed all, thanks bro, and so they were the Tull themes covers you added yesterday of Dharma and Witches Promise, great renditions. Relating to El bicho, sorry but i'm not very keen on flamenco, strange thing being myself from the country it comes from, hehe , though if we're talking about flamenco rock, this is quite different, try with the best flamenco rock band of the 70's we had in Spain, Triana, with his best and most well known tune, Abre la Puerta, niña or Open the door, girl. I'm sure all you'll like, buddies, pure progressive music from here. Let's go on with this

Preston, Skorpis, another brilliant and unknown band for me, thanks for your unstoppable work to show us all these good bands, and, of course to have created this extraordinary thread.
Surprisingly i didn't know this progressive and folk rock band from the Islands, of course ;D , they formed in 1969 and just brought out four albums and a few bunch of singles. What's your musical opinion? Why didn't they go longer and get much more success? Strange things happened, or unfair in life, they have shocked me very much.
AUDIENCE - FRIENDS, FRIENDS, FRIENDS
