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.

Everybody Needs A Friend Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
Trust in me, Ill try to do
Everything to help you that I can
Broken wings can heal and mend again
Dont be afraid to cry your tears out loud
Everybody needs to have a friend
Its only love that I can give
And I give to you the only love I have
When I see youre so unhappy
It makes me want to try and understand
Everybody needs a helping hand
If everything should turn around
And its me who feels so down and out
You could be the kind of company
To share a load and know how bad it feels
Everybody needs to have a friend
