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
Four ways to the language that seems to confuse me,
I refuse to work inside that cell any more.
I cant see any reason for you to doubt it -
Certain needs of life answer to your call.
Chorus:
Our love is stronger,
Our love is stronger.
Im waitin for our love to show,
Im waitin for our love to grow.
Waitin for our love to show,
Waitin for our love to grow.
Cynics must have their own little reward -
Information shared, heavy as trust.
Wise men have always been our installed radar.
I can take some destined caress for us.
Chorus
People tryin to guide us into an old scene,
Emotional mortgages at every door.
Searchin for the joy of every day life -
Is there another future were tryin for?
Chorus
