With Blodwyn Pig, late guitarist/singer Mick Abrahams played with rock and prog’s biggest names and turned the group into festival stars who had the world at their feet – and then the Jethro Tull co-founder was fired from his own band. Abrahams looked back on his career with Prog in 2018.
Mick Abrahams has to choke back the tears as he discusses his health. “I had two heart attacks and a stroke almost at the same time in 2009,” he says. “They’ve left their mark on me. I’m using a mobility scooter today because sometimes I find it hard to walk. And my speech can be a little slow. But I’m not paralysed, thank goodness. I’m still a rock’n’roller – I love a Jack Daniel’s and I can appreciate an attractive woman! So it could be worse.”
