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.

It Started In Heaven Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
You left by the highway
You took everything you owned,
Trying to find a little peace of mind somewhere.
You made up your own mind
So dont ask me how I feel.
You blew me away
What more can I say to you?
Dont let a mystery show
Fool you all the time
Better still, dont come between the lines.
It started in heaven
But finished with rocknroll;
The sun went down
You just turned around to go.
You couldnt take what I had to give
I couldnt give you any more.
You made up your mind
Dont ask me how I feel.
