Celebrating the 55th anniversary of the formationof the original Wishbone Ash
Martin Turner and his band return to the concert stages during 2025 to celebrate
the 55th anniversary of the formation of the original Wishbone Ash.
Wishbone Ash was formed by West Country musicians Martin Turner and Steve
Upton, who arrived in London in 1969 to embark on their musical journey. Martin
Turner envisaged the band’s innovative harmony-guitar hallmark and guitarists Ted
Turner and Andy Powell were recruited via a now legendary Melody Maker advert.
The partnership of the original line-up of Wishbone Ash forged a unique musical
identity that would produce some of rock music's best loved works and influence
numerous successful bands, resulting in millions of album sales and concert
attendances. Wishbone Ash’s name would become synonymous with high quality,
guitar-driven melodic rock music.
Many decades later, the music of the classic line-ups 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 Wishbone Ash, Argus, Pilgrimage, Wishbone Four, There’s the Rub,
New England and Live Dates defined the Wishbone Ash sound and touched the
hearts of several generations of music fans.
As lead vocalist, bassist and key creative force, founding original member 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 major ingredients in the definitive
Wishbone Ash sound. Martin continues to delight audiences with performances of
the band’s best loved works with his current band, which features guitarists Danny
Willson and Misha Nikolic, and drummer Sonny Flint.
The ”Blowin’ Free” tour will feature music from the career-defining eras of
Wishbone Ash, with a show consisting of classic tracks and stage favourites as well
as much loved deeper album cuts, making it a show no true Wishbone Ash
aficionado will want to miss.
