Martin Turner and his band return to the concert stages during 2026 for another evening of classic Wishbone Ash music.
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.
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.
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. Martin continues
to delight audiences with performances of the band’s best loved works with his
current band.
The Two Eras tour will feature two distinct sets of music, representing the career
defining Mk.1 and Mk.2 line-ups of Wishbone Ash.
The Mk.1 set will focus on music recorded by the pioneering original 1969-74 line
up of the band, with tracks from ground-breaking album releases Wishbone Ash,
Pilgrimage, Argus and Wishbone Four, while the Mk.2 set will feature material from
the period of 1974-80 when Laurie Wisefield replaced original member Ted Turner,
resulting in the introduction of fresh influences as featured on a diverse series of
acclaimed album releases including There’s the Rub, New England and Front Page
News.
With a show consisting of classic tracks, stage favourites and deeper cuts that have
touched the hearts of several generations of rock music fans, the Two Eras tour is
one which no true Wishbone Ash aficionado will want to miss.
