website:



A British blues–rock band, founded in 1968 by guitarist–vocalist–songwriter Mick Abrahams.

Abrahams left Jethro Tull, due to a falling-out with vocalist Ian Anderson, after their debut album, This Was, was released, and formed Blodwyn Pig with Jack Lancaster (saxophone and flute), Andy Pyle (bass guitar) and Ron Berg (drums). Future Yes guitarist Peter Banks became one of several guitarists to succeed Abrahams after he left to form his own band for a time.

With Abrahams and Lancaster in the lead, Blodwyn Pig recorded two albums, Ahead Rings Out in 1969 and Getting To This in 1970.
