Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson is on the cover of the new, gift-packed issue of Prog, which is on sale now!
Issue 171 of Prog comes with a really cool Prog laptop sticker, a Jethro Tull artprint, a newly updated 148-page Tull eBook and a 15-track sampler from Prog For Peart festival featuring all the bands appearing this July.
Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull graces the cover and is the first-ever interviewee of Prog's brand-new All-New All-Star Interview. We got a host of Ian's famous friends, fans and peers to ask him that burning, Tull-related question that they’ve always wanted to ask. The likes of Rick Wakeman, Derek Shulman, Carl Palmer, Roy Harper, Gavin Esler, Mikael Åkerfeldt and loads more to give Ian a good grilling. The result is one of the funniest interviews you'll read with Ian. Plus, on the back of new reissues, we explore the band's journey with new technology that led them to Ian's solo album Walk Into Light and Tull's own Under Wraps.
At the same time Marillion frontman Steve Hogarth tells us about trying to avoid being punched while running around South Yorkshire in a bathrobe, yellow clogs and lots of beads as he looks back over his career in The Prog Interview; Yes tell us all about making their 24th studio album, Aurora; and we celebrate 25 years of everyone’s favourite online prog store Burning Shed.
Elsewhere, Exploring Birdsong, A.A. Williams, MONO, Tarja, Liminal Sky, The Paradox Twin, Franck Carducci, Jonas Lindberg and more tell us all about their latest releases.
