Jethro Tull Tribute

Since 1998, when not performing original blues and folk rock music, Derbyshire based Cold Flame have performed the music of international progressive rock group Jethro Tull in a special two hour plus tribute show highlighting the totally unique music of this legendary worldwide act. Over the years these tribute shows have evolved and developed resulting in the five piece band headlining indoor and outdoor shows and rock festivals across the UK as well as occasionally in mainland Europe including headline and guest performances at several Jethro Tull Fan Conventions in both Italy and Spain. As a result of such concert opportunities and exposure, the band have been featured on UK and European radio stations as well as receiving plaudits in national music magazines like 'Classic Rock' and 'A New Day'.

'Cold Flame perform the music of Jethro Tull' showcases both classic electric and acoustic Jethro Tull music highlighting songs from albums such as 'Stand Up', 'Aqualung' 'Thick as a Brick' and 'Songs from the Wood' alongside various lesser known gems from across the decades in a two hour plus show that highlights musicality, diversity, humour and uniqueness - traits that conjure up the very essence and appeal of Jethro Tull.

Cold Flame have established links with several official ex members of Jethro Tull having supported two Tull off-shoot bands in the past - Blodwyn Pig and Wild Turkey as well as appearing on the same bill as Mick Abrahams, Clive Bunker, Martin Barre, Glenn Cornick and Dee Palmer whilst also performing with ex Tull ex musicians Paul Burgess, Gerry Conway as well as Tull guest musician and international violinist Anna Phoebe and Martin Barre's current bassist Alan Thompson.

In recent years, Cold Flame have maintained their tribute show status and are currently regarded as the premier Jethro Tull tribute band in the UK. They continue to perform both electric and acoustic Jethro Tull tribute shows around the country as well as discussing new possibilities in mainland Europe. Jethro Tull tribute shows have already been confirmed across the UK for 2025 with several additional concerts in the pipeline.

Cold Flame welcome all enquiries both from the UK and from Europe regarding public or private bookings. We recommend promoters, agents and the general public to contact the band at info@cold-flame.co.uk or via Facebook with their enquiries.

Testimonials

"When they played for me a couple of years ago they put on a really excellent show, and in my opinion must be regarded as one of the UK's top tribute acts. They entertained a near full house and gave them all a most enjoyable evening. I can certainly recommend Cold Flame to any promoter if they are looking for a tribute band to appease Jethro Tull die-hard fans. You, and they, will not be disappointed in their performance - you can be certain!"

Mike Prendergast. UK Tribute Band Promoter, Gasto Promotions.

"We were all hoping for an enjoyable show in Crewe but we got a lot more than that. The standard of musician ship from all corners was very high indeed."

Dave Shepherd, BCB Radio Bradford.

"Love that Jethro Tull sound that Cold Flame capture ever so well"

Dan James, Radio Wales.

"A real celebration of Tull music. The five piece Cold Flame are now recognized as the premier Jethro Tull tribute act in the UK blending quality musicianship and songs with Pythonesque sketches of anarchic humour and larger than life personas and costumes. These are qualities you would expect to see from a Tull tribute and get them you do. Well worth seeing if you get the chance."

Dave Rees, A New Day Magazine
