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
You made me feel good
After all this time,
Welcomed me home
With my name in lights,
Took me by the hand,
Shook away my fear,
Brought back the memory
Of those earlier years.
Everybodys talkin, front page news.
Gotta help you get up
And get rid of your blues.
Cheatin the devil, or whatever you choose,
Even if youve got nothin, boy,
Youve got somethin to lose.
Youve got the...
Eatin out of your hand.
Got the answer if youve got the time.
Cant go on forever in lotus land,
Dont end up doing one night stands.
Ive seen your face in every cloud,
Ive followed the sun
Which brought me back to your side.
Ive lived some time
By what the fortune-tellers say,
But now I know in love with u.k.
