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.

Number The Brave Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
In another time and space
You meet your maker face to face.
You know who cast the spell
And turned his eye on you,
Cant lose sight of it,
Never fading out,
Fading out of view.
Number the brave
In your heart,
Number the brave,
For they died for you.
Out of the free zone
Into the night -
There has to be a sacrifice.
Its such a scary feeling,
You must feel it too -
From a fallen angel fading in and fading out of view.
So when we reach the other side
You know their fight is justified.
Now you see the meaning
Of the dream they share with you -
Its a burning light
Never fading out,
Fading out of view.
Number the brave
In your heart,
Number the brave,
For they died for you.
