jazzamatazz Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Saturday 20th February Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash – Life Begins Tour 2010 With millions of album sales and concert attendances worldwide, Wishbone Ash’s heritage as one of the most enduring and best loved British rock acts is assured. 2010 marks the 40th anniversary of the formation of Wishbone Ash. Forty years will have passed since West Country musicians Martin Turner and Steve Upton arrived in London to embark on their musical journey. Forty years since Martin Turner first envisaged the innovative harmony-guitar hallmark that has since influenced numerous successful rock acts. Forty years since guitarists Ted Turner and Andy Powell answered that now legendary Melody Maker advert and joined Martin and Steve in a rehearsal room for the first time, establishing a partnership and a unique musical identity that would produce some of rock music's best loved works. Forty years since Martin Turner chose the words “Wishbone” and “Ash” from a list of possible names put forward by the band members, creating a legendary brand name that would become synonymous with high quality guitar-driven melodic rock music. Forty years on, the enduring music of the classic marks of Wishbone Ash continues to delight audiences worldwide through both live performances and a rich legacy of recorded work that continues to be enjoyed by fans old and new. Classic album releases such as Argus, Pilgrimage, There’s the Rub, New England and Live Dates defined the Wishbone Ash sound and have touched the hearts of several generations of music fans. As lead vocalist and key creative force, Martin Turner was central to the critical and commercial success of Wishbone Ash’s most revered albums, with his passionate vocal delivery, songwriting ability, keen melodic sense and production values being a key ingredient in the definitive Wishbone Ash sound. http://www.wishboneash.co.uk/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
