Who is Martin Barre?
Martin Lancelot Barre is an English rock musician.
Barre has been the guitarist for Rock band Jethro Tull since 1969. He has appeared on every Jethro Tull album except their debut This Was. His sound has been marked by a blend of Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton style blues with the baroque complexities of early 1970s progressive rock and traditional European folk music sounds. Barre has stated in interviews that guitarist Leslie West from American rock band Mountain was a direct influence on his playing. He has also acted as a flautist both on-stage for Tull, and in his own solo work.
