Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - a podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 52, we end the year on a high, keeping the festive spirit going past Christmas with an interview with Ian Anderson, multi-instrumentalist, flautist and chief vocalist in Jethro Tull!

The second MBE recipient to appear on the podcast (as far as we know), Anderson has fronted Jethro Tull for nearly 60 years! It was quite the thrill then to feature an interview with Anderson off the back of Jethro Tull releasing their latest album ‘Curious Ruminant’ in early 2025, some 50+ years on from releasing their debut album ‘This Was’ in 1968.

A fascinating look into the inner workings of touring life and what’s kept Jethro Tull afloat for so long, we caught up over Zoom at the beginning of December 2025 to talk about Christmas, famous son-in-law Andrew Lincoln, avoiding pickpockets abroad and the differences in touring between now and then.
