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.

Long Live The Night Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
I see shes crying
And I hear her calling
But I disregard her
Just keep on walking.
My heart is burning
She need to work it out
Before she leaves her innocence behind.
I want to be there by your side
I want to see the morning sun rise.
Dont want to be left alone in the dark.
Like a blind man
I cant find my way.
Strike a light up in your window
So that I can see right up to your door.
Long live the night we spent together
Long live the night forevermore.
Out in the streets
In the cold light of day
Ive been reflecting on what she might say.
I felt a shiver
The devil passed me by.
He said nothing
My luck was running high.
