Martin Barre, the legendary guitarist of Jethro Tull, tells his story for the first time in A Trick of Memory. For more than four decades, Barre's guitar defined the sound of one of rock's most enduring bands, from the iconic riff in Aqualung to Grammy Award–winning performances. His unique style made him a driving force in progressive rock and an influence on generations of guitarists.
This autobiography traces Barre's journey from his early days in Birmingham, playing flute and saxophone before discovering his true voice on guitar, through worldwide tours and classic albums with Jethro Tull. Along the way, he offers candid reflections on life on the road, the highs and lows of the music industry, and the creativity behind some of rock's most memorable moments.
Now leading his own band, Barre continues to tour internationally. Published in November 2025 to coincide with his UK and US tours — including the Louder Than Words Festival in Manchester — this is the essential memoir for fans of Jethro Tull, classic rock, progressive rock, unforgettable guitar legends and the untold history of one of Britain's most iconic musicians.
