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.

Comfort Zone Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
Go ahead and cry and weep and moan -
You know the blame is all your own.
You paid your money and you made a choice.
A world out theres waiting to be shown.
Stuck in conformity, something wrong with that.
Searching for sanity, Im not falling in that trap.
The way youre going, youll travel alone
cause Ill never stay in the comfort zone.
You didnt roll the dice, you didnt take the shot,
Youre all wrapped up in what you got.
Youre crying about the way you feel
To the music of your spinning wheels.
