Jethro Tull’s first album, This Was, recorded with the original line-up of Anderson, Cornick, Bunker and Abrahams, was released in 1968. Following the departure of Mick Abrahams, who was replaced by Martin Barre, the line-up changed frequently over the decades, with around thirty musicians coming and going, with some staying for only a few months while others joined the band for longer periods.
The band’s current line-up is Ian Anderson with David Goodier (bass), John O’Hara (keyboards), Joe Parrish (guitar) and Scott Hammond (drums).
