The winner of this little competition, by a country mile, is Ian Anderson - he of Jethro Tull fame. He may not be the most technically gifted flautist but certainly makes up for it in energy. Try these for size. First is a solo on the flute and the second is a live version of locomotive breath with him hurling the flute around like it’s a sword!

Any man who can blow like that and wears a codpiece in ok in my book.

I went to see Jethro Tull live back in the 70s. The show kicked off with Pan’s People dancing to some pre recorded music from Ian Anderson to be followed by the support act - an all female American band called Fanny.

I kid you not.
