MICK ABRAHAMS - All Said And Done 1991 -
MICK ABRAHAMS \ ALL SAID AND DONE 1991.
Bio :
Michael Timothy 'Mick' Abrahams (born 7 April 1943, in Luton, Bedfordshire, England) was the original guitarist for Jethro Tull. He recorded the album This Was with the band in 1968, but conflicts between Abrahams and Ian Anderson over the musical direction of the band led Abrahams to leave once the album was finished. Abrahams wanted to pursue a more blues/rock direction, while Anderson wanted to incorporate more over folk and jazz influences.
He was replaced first by Tony Iommi who would leave Tull after
only a few weeks and would later go on to form Black Sabbath, and then by Martin Barre who remains with Jethro Tull to this day.
Abrahams went on to found Blodwyn Pig and the group recorded two albums, Ahead Rings Out and Getting to This before breaking up in 1970. Abrahams soldiered on with the short-lived Wommet, then the Mick Abrahams Band and has continued to release albums by himself and with reunited versions of Blodwyn Pig. Abrahams caused some controversy in Tull fan circles for his formation of a band called This Was in the late 1990s, which reunited the members of the first incarnation of Jethro Tull (with the exception of Ian Anderson) to perform songs from that era of Jethro Tull's music.
Finally, in 1988, however, he reformed Blodwyn Pig with Andy Pyle back in the line-up on bass, ex-Bonzo Dog Band member Dick Heckstall-Smith and Bernie Hetherington on saxes, Bruce Boardman on keyboards, and Clive Bunker on drums.
The reformed group was a success, releasing a well received album called All Said And Done. Their 1993 line-up, including new keyboardist Dave Lennox, Mike Summerland on bass, and Graham
Walker on drums, released the album Lie\s (A New Day), Blodwyn Pig's most accomplished album ever.
