Ian A. Anderson

**Ian A. Anderson** (born 26 July 1947, in Weston-super-Mare, England) is an English magazine editor (founder of fRoots magazine and Rogue Records), folk musician and broadcaster. Anderson first performed in his home town of Weston-super-Mare as a member of the Backwater Jook Band and came to prominence as a member of the Bristol based country blues scene of the mid to late 1960s, performing live and on record, both solo, with Al Jones and Elliott Jackson as the trio "Anderson Jones Jackson", and as a duo with Mike Cooper. The middle initial was added at a later date to avoid confusion with Ian Anderson of the band Jethro Tull.

Andy Kershaw has had Ian A. Anderson on his shows to talk about world music, as well as playing his music, in numerous bands and from fRoots compilations. Anderson also sat in for Kershaw on his 29 May 1993 show when he was away on the Isle Of Man and also appealed to readers on the internet in 2000 to complain to the Controller of BBC Radio One about the sacking of Andy Kershaw.
