    Blodwyn Pig was the band formed by former Jethro Tull axeman Mick Abrahams , they were a damn good band, but were not long lived. Their debut album A Head Rings Out, was quite successful, but their creative juices seemed to then lose power and they split up in the early 70s.

Mick Abrahams - guitar, vocals, seven-string guitar, tenor guitar
Jack Lancaster - flute, violin, electric violin, tenor sax, baritone sax, soprano sax, phoon horn, cornet
Andy Pyle - electric bass, six-string bass
Ron Berg - drums, tympani

At Bath I had managed to blag my way stageside of the barriers and seeing Blodwyn Pig taking the stage strolled on with them, managing to take some pix before being asked to leave!
