Från engelska Wikipedia: "Ian Scott Anderson (born August 10, 1947 in Dunfermline, Fife), is a Scottish singer, songwriter, guitarist and flautist, and is best known as the head of the rock band Jethro Tull.
Anderson as a songwriter is noted for his (often cynical) songs about God, Christianity, Christmas and the winter solstice, particularly on the Jethro Tull albums Aqualung and The Jethro Tull Christmas Album. As a flautist, Anderson is self-taught; his style was influenced by Roland Kirk.
He is also capable on several other instruments, notably having played bass guitar on the Jethro Tull album Stormwatch. His list of played musical instruments on the entire Tull catalogue is impressive, including flute, acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar, saxophone, Hammond organ, drums, keyboards, trombone, a variety of whistles, and violin."

Sir James Galway, född 8 december 1939 i Belfast, Nordirland, är en irländsk flöjtist och UNICEF-ambassadör.
Åren 1969–1975 var han medlem av Berlinfilharmonikerna, innan han påbörjade en solokarriär. Han hade flera stora skivsuccéer med sina inspelningar av klassisk musik i slutet på 1970-talet.
Från engelska Wikipedia: "Sir James Galway (born December 8, 1939) is an Northern Ireland-born flute player from Belfast, often called The Man With the Golden Flute. He became one of the first flautists to establish a career as a soloist. Queen Elizabeth II knighted him in June 2001.
He auditioned for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Herbert von Karajan, and was principal flute of that orchestra from 1969 to 1975. To Karajan's surprise and dismay, after a period of some disagreement, "Jimmy" Galway decided that he would leave to pursue a solo career, which he succeeded in doing admirably. He still performs regularly and is one of the world's leading classical flute players.
He is Principal Guest Conductor of the London Mozart Players, based at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon, South London.
Most recently, Sir James has performed for the Academy Award-winning ensemble recording the soundtracks of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
He now resides in Meggen, Switzerland, with his U.S.-born wife, Jeanne."
