Wishbone Ash can trace its origins back to Torquay, a seaside resort in the south west of England. It was here that Martin Turner and Steve Upton first performed together - Turner bass - Upton the drums, before moving to London in 1969 to seek fame and fortune. It was in the capital that a decision was made to place an advert for a keyboard player and a lead guitarist. The following audition threw up 2 guitar leads but nobody could decide who to choose and the trademark twin lead sound of Wishbone Ash was born. Ted (David) Turner and Andy Powell soon went through the poverty and growing pains of a new band but were fortunate that Miles Copeland was championing their cause and a fairly rapid progression was achieved.

A Thousand Years Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
Times are changing, well soon be facing
A story yet unknown.
Dont deny it, we cant defy it.
Itll happen on its own.
The past behind us, there to remind us
Of what could be again.
Fact or fiction, deep intuition
Of wondering how and when.
Once in a thousand years
The secrets of the past
Will change the way we see.
Across the ocean, the worlds emotions
Are in and out of time.
The changing seasons, no rhyme or reason,
The choices, cruel or kind.
One day its clear, then clouds appear
cause nothing stays the same.
The thoughts that have conditioned you,
Its how you play the game.
But then the day will come around
Well turn the world upside down.
