Ring Solstice Bells.

I'm sitting here looking for a decent mulled wine recipe online and I'm discovering that there are lots and lots of recipes to choose from, all variations on a theme. Mulled wine is a traditional winter drink and is essentially a combination of wine (usually red), citrus, spices and sugar which is then gently heated.
Whilst mulling over the final selection of what seems the most pleasing concoction to me, I thought a little Jethro Tull was in order. Happy winter solstice.
For Thud...

Heavens VG! First Maddy P. and now Jethro Tull....where next? Eclection? Stealers Wheel? Fairport Convention? The Strawbs? Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

I do love a little Tull at this time of year and Affer has it right...nostalgia is just the thing for Christmas.

You link such fabulous music. Hope your holidays are absolutely grand, and I know your new year will be filled with fabulousness, as it will bring a new nephew. All the best to you and yours.

PF: Thank you and a very, Merry Christmas to you also. Yes the mini-Thud is something brilliant to look forward to in 2011!

2B: It was an EP actually (Thud's copy is still in our mother's house), but the Paganistic cover is indeed great.
You played with one of Jethro Tull just this last summer? You never cease to amaze me :)
