Jethro Tull: The Prog Years – Rescheduled

Rescheduled Performance: www.paviliontheatre.co.uk/shows/jethro-tull-the-prog-years-2021

Dear Customer,

Reschedule Notification

Unfortunately, with the ongoing global situation, and the increasingly unlikelihood of events being able to go ahead in the short term, we have had no alternative than to reschedule our performance of Jethro Tull: The Prog Years, originally due to take place on Monday 5th October 2020. The good news is that we have managed to secure a new date for next year, which is Tuesday 28th September 2021!

Original tickets will still be valid for this new date meaning that you retain the current seats you purchased for the original date. However, we understand that the new date may not suit everyone; therefore, we are offering refunds to anybody who cannot attend on this new date. We therefore ask if you are unable to attend and wish a refund, please contact us, preferably by e-mail, on sales@paviliontheatre.co.uk (including your booking surname and postcode) or call our Box Office. Our staff are now working remotely to protect their own health and that of colleagues and customers therefore the theatre is not open to the public, but you can contact them on 0141 332 1846 (selecting option 1, 2 or 3), with opening hours of 10am till 3pm, Monday to Friday.

We apologise for any upset or disappointment this will cause. We wish you well in these strange times, but we are hopeful that things will get back to normal soon and look forward to welcoming you at the new date in 2021.

Yours sincerely,

Pavilion Theatre (Glasgow) Limited

Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull band are one of the world’s most successful and enduring Progressive Rock bands. At the beginning of February 1968 Jethro Tull first appeared under that name at the famous Marquee Club in Wardour Street, London. Quickly building a following there and at the many other small Blues clubs and pub venues up and down England, the band came to broader media and public recognition at the Sunbury Jazz and Blues Festival in the summer of 1968 where they were the surprise hit of the occasion.

Tull recorded with the original lineup of Anderson, Cornick, Bunker and Abrahams and released their first album This Was on the Island label later that year. After the departure of Mick Abrahams and his replacement by Martin Barre, another thirty or so musicians would form the ranks over the decades, some staying for a few months; some for the longer haul.

Although Ian Anderson uses his own real name these days in conjunction with the Tull performances and repertoire, the Jethro Tull brand has endured to this day and as writer, producer, flautist, vocalist and occasional guitarist, Anderson performs with the band typically 80 – 100 shows each year in many countries of the world.

This tour will draw heavily on material from the more ‘Prog’ albums, some of it focussing on the earlier formative period through to the “heavy hitters” of the Tull catalogue from the albums Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, Thick As A Brick, Passion Play and even a touch of TAAB2 from 2012.

Ian Anderson will be accompanied by Tull band musicians David Goodier (bass), John O’Hara (keyboards), Joe Parrish (guitar) and Scott Hammond (drums).  The show will be enhanced by full scale video projection.
