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.

Moonshine Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
Feeling light-headed as I caught her eye,
She was inviting as I passed her by.
Losing all freedom,
I fell to the ground.
She took me home later
And made me see why.
When you look through a haze,
And youre out on a line,
You just cant satisfy when youre down
On that moonshine.
Held back my temptation,
Trying to please her,
But still I could not stand.
As morning dawned,
The feeling returned
As I lay alone with the lesson I learned.
When you look through a haze,
And youre out on a line,
You just cant satisfy when youre down
On that moonshine.
