In A Trick of Memory, legendary guitarist Martin Barre tells his story for the first time. 

 

For more than four decades, Barre’s guitar was an essential part of Jethro Tull’s sound. 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, Martin 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.
