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.

Wishbone Ash
Isadora
Dancing
Can you see her?
Che guavara
Marching beside her
Valentino
Loving every minute?
Dont you see them looking
Looking down on you?
Pictures on the walls of your room
Gonna help you play the parts
Of your ever changing mood.
Lying low
The cast is set around your bones
When all you ever wanted to be
Was plain mister jones.
Cell of fame
Its gonna trap you forever.
Self confessions
And your backs against the wall.
Idolized by the hands that hold the key
Not even time will set you free.
When its your turn to leave
Hung at dawn
Then you will join up
With the faces looking on
Thats where you belong.
Cell of fame
Its gonna trap you forever.
Self confessions
And your backs against the wall.
