Friday on my Mind 251: Beggar’s Farm + Dear Jill. RIP Mick Abrahams

Founder member of Jethro Tull, Mick Abrahams, died on 19/12/25. He only played on Tull’s first LP This Was before leaving the band due to wanting to pursue more in the line of the blues than flautist, singer and main songwriter Ian Anderson.

This, from that LP, is a song he co-wrote with Anderson.

Abrahams went on to form the unforgettably named Blodwyn Pig. Their first single was Dear Jill.

Michael Timothy (Mick) Abrahams: 7/4/1943 – 19/12/2025. So it goes.
