Rocking All Over The World  ... again and again ... which is fantastic news!!!

Quo’s anthemic “Rocking All Over The World” could have been written for a lot of bands, but there aren’t many who have been doing it for over 40 years! Although based in America, this legendary British rock band has maintained a schedule this year that would test any teenage new-boys. Their 40^th Anniversary World Tour has taken them around the globe including no less than 50 UK gigs, which culminates in Newcastle this month.

Of course, to be constantly touring across four decades you have to be special. Wishbone Ash were formed in 1969 under the managerial eye of Miles Copeland and are renowned for delivering high quality, innovative rock. Yes there has been change, but they have continued to cut records in both the UK and the US working with producers of the calibre of Tom Dowd (Cream, Clapton & Skynyrd) and Bill Szymczyk (Eagles, Joe Walsh and The Who). 

They have even made pioneering appearances in the former Soviet Union, South Africa and India, long before others made it fashionable to visit such places. Through all the change, Andy Powell and his trademark Gibson Flying V, has charted a steady course maintaining the band's integrity and identity. He has also kept close contact with the legions of fans worldwide that support the band.

Andy commented about this Newcastle gig, “We always have a busy schedule, but this year being our 40^th Anniversary it is a lot heavier than usual. We wanted to visit all of the towns and cities in the UK that we played in the past and have just about achieved that! There were 25 shows in March which  brings us to Newcastle in the final week. We genuinely love playing in the Northeast, the audiences are both knowledgeable and enthusiastic and of course we have built up many friends over the years.”

Chris Dixon is a long-time Ash fan from Durham; “I have been going to their gigs for about twenty years and have never been disappointed. They are always fresh. Yes, I love the old stuff, but they are always introducing new material so no two gigs are the same. I’ve also noticed that more and more younger people are attending the gigs which is good.  I guess they want to see how it’s done by the professionals.”
