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
I have traveled the line,
Held many hands on short holidays,
Made a lot of noise
In the strangest places far away.
Only for a day or two at a time,
Ive been moving with the wind
On my side,
That puts me free and easy in my hometown.
I said Id stay alive
I guess I didnt tell a lie.
I told you Id come back again
And Ill say the same again next time.
Ive been living for a day at a time
Movin with the wind on my side.
You dont know how good it feels
I know Ill never want to go away.
You dont know how good it feels
To be with you again -
I know Im comin home to stay.
Im sayin, its nice to be back home
Among my friends.
It means a lot to me
And your love
It never ends.
