Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson Overview

Calliandra Productions & Hole Agency Presents Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson plays Thick as a Brick.

Starting April 2012, Ian Anderson will undertake a series of dates commemorating the 40th anniversary of his Jethro Tull album Thick As A Brick and will be introducing a new record.

The first half of the show will consist of the original Thick As A Brick album in its entirety and the second half, the new work. There will of course be some of the Jethro Tull hits thrown in for good measure.

Most of the concert dates of this material will be production tours with a more theatrical performance involving video media and additional performers.

The No 1 Billboard Chart-topping album Thick As A Brick, will be performed as per the original recording, with a few surreal and humorous theatrical interjections.
