(Abrahams had a major falling out with Tull leader Ian Anderson.) Blodwyn Pig consisted of Abrahams (guitar and vocals), Jack Lancaster (saxophone), Andy Pyle (bass guitar), and Ron Berg (drums).
The band recorded two albums: Ahead Rings Out (1969) and Getting to This (1970). Both reached the lower half of the British top ten. On the first album they played a heavy blues-rock rooted in the British 1960s R'n'B scene from which sprang groups like the Yardbirds, Free, and eventually Led Zeppelin, but Blodwyn Pig had a different twist on the genre thanks to Lancaster's sax being so prominent in the mix, which led them to more creative sixties underground jazz-influenced music on the second. The single "Summer Day" from Ahead Rings Out failed to chart.

blodwyn pig`s "ahead rings out" is an absolutely incredible album. it has all the virtuosity of jethro tull, but also a unique freshness
and an irreverence that the more thought-out tull lacked; almost punk-jazz at times, but with an impeccable, lovely sense for melody,
too: "see my way" has an amost child-like innocence that can move a receptive listener to tears.
@brotzmannsax
Ahead Rings Out is a five star classic, the whole LP is great with one of the coolest cover jackets ever.
@troydavis2125
You all see my way! Lol. First album I pulled from my stepdads collection, just because of the smoking pig on the cover.... He had a giant collection of vinyl, this song rings through my head to this day.
@Hiwatt100W1
THIS IS A GREAT SONG. Really beautiful almost English folk melody that transitions to a driving jazz improv. This got me into Mick Abrahams and Blodwyn Pig in a big way...he is a tremendous guitarist. (Listen to his work with Tull- the first record, This Was). Mick still is great guitarist, from what I've heard of his later recordings.
You have to appreciate how well he plays here, how clean with that SG through slightly overdriven Orange amps. Not too many rock guitarists play this way anymore, because they can't. They're too dependent on overdrive pedals. Well done, Mick, if by some chance you see this!
@tonysloggett106
have enjoyed the "Pig" for decades!!!
@arejetko
WTF! Outstanding! My head rings now.

Saxophonist Jack Lancaster, along with Robin Lumley (Brand X), created a fantastic rock version of Sergej Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf in 1975 with a bevy of well-known musicians. Among them were Manfred Mann, Gary Brooker, Chris Spedding, Percy Jones, Gary Moore, Stephane Grapelli, Eno, Keith Tippett, John Hiseman, Bill Bruford, Cozy Powell, Phil Collins, Alwin Lee, Julie Tippett.
