Is it just me, or do the time periods in the text "played keyboards for Jethro Tull from April to December 1970, and then from January 1971 to June 1980" actually seem odd? I mean, unless there was a clear break over the Xmas/New Year period of 1970-71, then why not just say "played keyboards for Jethro Tull from April 1970 to June 1980"?

He initially guested with Tull, and wasn't a full member when he played on the Benefit album. The second time period probably refers to when he joined on a full time basis. The comment about him being involved in a law firm might be correct, but as far as I know he runs a building company --redmax 09:24, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

errors in article

New to discussions, I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place for this comment.

The John Even page states that he currently runs a law firm and has appeared at Tull events.

The official Jethro Tull site states that Evan runs a building construction firm and has not been involved in music for several years.

I read somewhere that his building construction firm deals with renovating old airport buildings.

It is possible that my info (and the Tull website) is obsolete and the author's info is current, but I hope someone will verify Evan's current status and correct the original article if necessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swwhit (talk • contribs) 19:16, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Corrections

Article now amended (see comments above). However, it ideally could do with some references to flesh out and confirm the revised text.

That link to Jeffrey Hammond was the wrong one. Gusssss (talk) 13:28, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct Surname?

I've never seen any evidence that his legal surname was changed to "Evan". Unless I'm mistaken "Evan" was always just a stage name and his legal surname has always been "Evans". If this is the case then I think the entire article needs to be changed to reflect the legal surname. Basil the Bat Lord (talk) 05:04, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
