Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash Life Begins Tour
There are only a few British rock
band sounds that have stood the test of time.
Celebrating your 40th birthday is a
big occasion and so it was for
Wishbone Ash
co-founder, Martin Turner
in 2009. With that milestone under
his belt, he looks at 2010 with optimism and
March sees the start of a major UK tour, which
he has titled “Life Begins”.
We asked Martin about the new tour, “As we enter a new period of touring for the band, we have introduced some different oldies into the live show, but I am sure the set will develop even further as the touring progresses. Compiling a show from a catalogue as extensive as Wishbone Ash’s is never easy and it’s important to get the balance right,” said Turner. “Naturally our most ardent fans are keen to hear some of the songs that we have not played with this band yet. At the same time we also have to please those who may not be so familiar with the wider catalogue and the material within it. It is vital that we cater for both elements of the fan base and, on that note, we will be continuing to include a sprinkling of Argus songs in the set. I’m pleased to say, I’m not “Argussed-out” yet!!! Argus has been good to us. It remains Wishbone Ash’s most critically and commercially revered studio album, people still want to hear it and my band are as qualified as any to reproduce it. So, let’s continue to celebrate its success! “ he continued. Turner was one of the founder members of the original band in 1969, wrote many of their songs and was the main singer. Wishbone Ash achieved a high degree of success both in Europe and America and the brand has continued to maintain a high profile across the world. The big split with Turner came in 1980 when it was decided to recruit a new singer and front man to pursue a hit single. This was Turner’s job so he wasn’t too pleased and quit. With a period playing solo gigs, Turner decided to return to the Wishbone Ash format in 2005. A move welcomed by his fans. So you lovers of true British rock, its twin-lead guitar heaven at the Cluny Newcastle on Thursday 18th March.
