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.

Enigma Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
(Andy Powell/Andy Powell)
Is this your final answer?
The way you want it to be?
It seems there'll be no chance for
Peace, love and harmony
I know you need no other
There's no one else involved
It makes it more the stranger,
A mystery I can't solve.
(Chorus)
Love's an enigma,
Seems like I'm blind.
Love's an enigma,
I'm losing my mind.
I gave you all you wanted,
Found opportunities.
Played to your advantage,
Looked out for you constantly.
The summer in your heart
Became an autumn wind.
And tore our life apart.
Lord, I want it back again.
(Chorus)
