Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash |

Throughout the classic first decade of
Wishbone Ash's career, Martin stamped his
identity on each album with his distinctive upfront bass
style, as well as being the principal vocalist and
songwriter within the band. Disagreements over group
policy and musical direction led to Martin reluctantly
resigning from the band in 1980 to pursue a career in
record production.
2005 marked the long awaited and much anticipated return
to the live stage of Martin Turner, said to be the
definitive voice, creative force and founding member of
British rock legends Wishbone Ash, with an exciting new
band line-up. The February 2006 concert tour AN EVENING
of CLASSIC WISHBONE ASH MUSIC celebrated the 35th
anniversary of the formation of Wishbone Ash and
featured music from most of the band's definitive album
releases - classics of the rock era such as Argus,
Pilgrimage, Wishbone Four, There's The Rub, New England
and Just Testing. This select series of
shows clearly pleased the Wishbone Ash fan base, who
embraced the faithful reproduction of the trademark
Wishbone Ash sound
“The best Wishbone show I have
seen since 1980 - and yes, that includes the original
reformed band and definitely anything since.” “Best gig
this year, probably this century. Took me back 30
years, can’t believe how good it was to hear those songs
sung by the master. I always loved the soul edge in
Mart’s voice Find out more ?

“Martin was in fantastic form! This band
surpassed everyone's hopes and expectations. The twin
harmonies were spot on.”
“The best thing was hearing
those bass-lines again. Good to hear a few songs live
for the first time.”
“The show was a stormer and the
band did more than justice to the songs, many of which I
thought I would never again have the privilege to
witness live on stage. Martin’s in fine voice and the
interplay of his bass with the guitars was a joy.”
“MT and band exceeded all
expectations. The band were spot on with just the right
feel for Wishbone Ash music..”
“Better than anyone could ever
have expected - the best performances of WA classics
outside of the Mk.1/2 line-ups. It was quite simply the
music as it is supposed to be heard”.
“Martin and band blew us all
away. They really were first rate. The two guitarists
were incredibly polished and of first division quality.”
