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.

No More Lonely Nights Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
She was a lonely girl without a dream,
Then one day a flash of light, down by that stream,
Far away, on a silver screen, she saw an image of herself
Shed never seen.
No more lonely nights, no more lonely tears. (repeat)
She was a-wiping the tears away, saying farewell.
She made up her mind to leave, find that dream.
Well, I know youre happy, wherever you are.
Each day brings me closer to you, however far.
No more lonely nights, no more lonely tears. (repeat)
No more lonely nights, she crying no more tears.
Shes out there. her eyes can see
Into the future and her destiny.
Never look back, no, no, no, no, to the shades of the past.
By the way you look, you know, you know
You want it, you want it to last.
No more lonely nights, no more lonely tears. (repeat)
No more lonely nights, crying no more tears.
Shes wiping the tears away, shes saying farewell.
