Wishbone Ash play in Nottingham
AFTER 37 years in the business Wishbone Ash are still on the road and the guitar heroes will be performing at
The Rescue Rooms in Goldsmith Place, Nottingham on April 19.
Boasting a staggering array of albums to their name, the band who gave us the multi-million selling Argus stop off in the UK for the first leg of a two-part British tour.
They will be playing songs from their new album Clan Destiny (due for release on Eagle Records) as well as classics
such as The King Will Come, Throw Down The Sword and Blowin' Free.
Formed in October 1969, Wishbone Ash garnered notice in the early days for an unique blend of blues, jazz and English folk.But it was the way the guitars played melodic leads together that would become Wishbone Ash's trademark, inspiring such bands as Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden.
Throughout the years, many notable musicians have contributed their talents to the band, including Asia's John Wetton, Trevor Bolder from Uriah Heep and Laurie Wisefield, who would later play guitar for Joe Cocker and Tina Turner.
Late in 2004, founding guitarist Andy Powell, bassist Bob Skeat and drummer Ray Weston were joined by Finnish guitarist Muddy Manninen, who replaced fellow Finn Ben Granfelt.
The concert starts at 7.30pm. For more information about Wishbone Ash, visit www.wishboneash.com.
