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.

Lorelei Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
You shone out of the darkness
The light in your eyes.
I could not help myself
I did not want to try.
Like the singing of the lorelei
Your voice rang clear and true
Mystery and danger was all I got from you.
Oh, you mesmerized me, oh, you tantalized,
Like the singing of the lorelei.
And you knew everything
There was to know about me.
Like the singing of the lorelei
Your voice rang clear and true
Mystery and danger was all I got from you.
Oh, you mesmerized, oh, you tantalized
Like the voice of the lorelei.
