Ian
Anderson Rubbing Elbows in U.S.
Jethro Tull's front man, Ian Anderson, will be out and about performing
some purely acoustic shows this year. The shows, which run from the 8th
till the 20th of this month, are already in the "Tour Dates"
section of Tullworld.com. It is an extremely short tour that seems like it
may be a 'test the waters' type gig. If the tour goes along just fine, we
may be seeing Mr. Anderson taking his bag of tricks to some other cities
in the U.S. and United Kingdom.
In addition to Ian Anderson's music, local on-air personalities
from each area will be seated on the stage next to the band and work with Ian to introduce songs, anecdotes and local guests. There will be two local guests - one a musical performer - and members of the audience will be invited to put their own questions to Ian and maybe even have the opportunity to come up on to the stage.

Ian Anderson Wants
Your Bass on a Platter
On the up-coming Rubbing Elbows
with Ian Anderson Tour, I need to borrow a 3/4 size stand-up double bass
for my bass-player, David Goodier, to use in many of the songs.
Some of the promoters can't be
sure of getting one locally and we don't want to drag David's around with
us due to the difficulty of placing it securely under the seat in front or
in the overhead locker. So we need a different bass for each of the 11
concerts. A stand for it would be a help too.
If you are a bass player of a good playing quality instrument (or have a
close pal who is) and you live in or near one of the shows in the towns
below, you might like two free tickets to the concert and the opportunity
to hear how it sounds from the good seats in the house. Real wood is
preferred over plywood models. We have our own quickly mountable Fishman
pick-up and an SWR amp.
Don't forget: it must be a professional quality instrument with new(ish)
strings and ready to play. Not Uncle Bill's beat-up old spider coffin
gathering cobwebs in the attic!
If you are unavailable to attend the show, or desperately need the money,
I am prepared to pay a modest (Oh, what a skinflint) commercial rent for
the instrument for one night.
The full list of venues is available under "Tours" on this website. We need the instrument no later than three PM on the day of show. If you can help, please contact Kenny Wylie, Production Manager, on
jtullprod@aol.com as soon as possible.
If you don't have a bass to lend to me, please don't use that e-mail address as it is for Mr. Wylie's professional and daily commercial use only.
Many thanks. Looking forward to meeting you at the show.
Ian Anderson
