Get your arse over there now!

Seriously, you need to get over to The Manual and have a look around at what we've done to the place.

First up Charlie has been working like a dervish uploading stacks of really great and in some instances really rare pieces, check out the single section, I don;t think there's anywhere else with as much detail.

Then we've added a new viewer system that allows greater opportunity to read items, all new uploads will be able to access this, and over time we will replace any that haven't got the feature yet.

Then we've included a new tribute band section and added in associated mmeorabillia from them. So, if you're in or know of a tribute band, send over some details and we'll add them, all for free, no charge!

Plus we are always on the lookout for moreTull or Tull related memorabillia, got some? Scan it in, send it over couldn;t be easier. Oh, just add your details and we'll ensure you get credited.


Soon to come are greater discograpahies and "The Memory Bank" but more of that later.......

Jump Start


but we simply refuse to be towed away by anyone.

It's taken a few months to sort out a few glitches behind the scenes, and a few more new bells and whistles added for your delight and enjoyment.

The biggest improvement will be the addition of Charles [Charlie] Kenney to help me at The Boy Scout Manual. Charles will be joining me in the uploading and management of the site in the future. I have become firm friends with Charlie over at The Jethro Tull Board and we are looking forward to expanding and making this the best possible memorabillia site that we can.

Over in the bells and whistles department, for all new uploads there will be an option to view in higher resolutions than previously available. The addiitonal image viewer operates by hovering the cursor above the image allowing the viewer to read text and see greater detail. It won't apply to images already uploaded intially, but these will be updated over time.

We are also introducing a new section called 'The Memory Bank', it will be live but it will be a little time before we upload to it. We hope it will bring some new dimensions to the enjoyment of memorabillia and Tull history.

We live in interesting times.

we're getting there

Thanks to everyone who is contributing material, my apologies for the fact that it is taking sometime and uploads are relatively slow at the moment. 

A combination of health care demands and adjsuting to some lifestyle changes are the cause, but we are getting there, thanks to everyone for their kind owrds of support and to Derek Pith for some great all round friendship

The covers of the first 100 copies of A New day have been added as have some other nice bits and pieces, along wioth the promise of a lot more 

see you soon

TaaB/Taab2 Concerts 'official' unofficial recognition again!

Haven't seen it myself yet but I'm told that artwork we used in the background to 'The Boy Scout Manual' is being used in the backdrop projections to the current TaaB/TaaB2 concerts.

I have to say I'm pretty proud of that!

Loads going on!

We continue to upload material to the website.

It will be a long job but we think well worth it. We'd like to thank all those parts of the Tull community that are embracing and supporting this project. It is after all a project that works across all realms of the worldwide Tull fan base

Shame that some who view it singularly ignore it by not promoting it or mentioning it.

Anyway, an average of 12,000 hits per day can't be dismissed that easily, so thanks for all the great support, kind words and memorabillia, it will all get added over time.

Huge thanks must be paid to, Mr Derek Pith, Mr Darin Cody, Jim from NC and Napoleon Solo for access to their extensive collections!

More to come! Thanks folks.
