JETHRO Tull’s Ian Anderson will be performing highlights from his soon to be released album along with a selection of past hits at Salisbury City Hall, The upcoming record release will feature heavier, less acoustic guitar sounds and more of Anderson’s trademark flute.

He said: “After winning the Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Metal album back in 1988, this seems like an opportunity to justify that strange and misplaced accolade with a new album to celebrate the more forceful, full-on rock credentials which are found in many of my songs over the last 45 years.

“It's not an end to the acoustic and gentler moments but more of an emphasis on the louder aggressive flute style which marked me out from the earliest days of Jethro Tull.”

l Ian Anderson is at Salisbury City Hall at 7.30pm tonight. Information and tickets at cityhallsalisbury.co.uk or call 01722 434434.
