His solo work began with the 1983 album Walk into Light , and since then he has released another five works, including the sequel to the Jethro Tull album Thick as a Brick (1972) in 2012, entitled Thick as a Brick 2 .
"I can never make up my mind if I’m happy being a flute player, or if I wish I were Eric Clapton."
"I don’t think people really do listen. We plug into music, and we have short attention spans. We tend to download individual tracks from iTunes rather than a whole album. We buy music DVDs and watch them once, and then they disappear into a drawer, or we loan them to a friend, and we never watch it again."
“The flute was an alternative to being a small fish in an increasingly bigger pool filled with a number of great guitar players.”
“I’m really terrible with small children; they’re noisy, irritating, damp and soggy.”
“Progressive didn’t really go away. Just took a catnap in the late Seventies. A new generation of fans discovered it, and a whole new array of bands and solo artists took it on into the new millennium.”
“If Jesus Christ came back today, He and I would get into our brown corduroys and go to the nearest jean store and overturn the racks of blue denim.”
"I was always more interested in the ultimate live performance rather than the recording for its own sake. And, for the audience too, that thrill of – just being there."
