Martin Turner, founding member and bassist of Wishbone Ash, plays classic Wishbone Ash music to mark the 50th anniversary of 'Classic Ash'.
Martin Turner plays the Wrecking Ball Arts Centre on Saturday 17 April, performing classic Wishbone Ash music live. If you're not familiar with the name, Turner was a founding original member of Wishbone Ash, where he fronted the band as lead vocalist and bassist and stood as its key creative force during the era of its most revered albums.
The 1970s line-ups, built around the band's trademark harmony guitars, forged a guitar-driven melodic rock identity that influenced countless bands and sold millions of albums. This performance commemorates the 50th anniversary of Classic Ash, released in May 1977 with cover art by the legendary design studio Hipgnosis, an early anthology of the band's classic material.
It's a particular kind of night: a founding member returning to the songs that defined the band's early years, with the set drawn from that same era. If you've got a soft spot for the dual-lead guitar sound that Wishbone Ash helped make famous, this is exactly the kind of thing that puts it front and centre.
