Martin Turner and his band return to the concert stages during 2027 for another
evening of classic Wishbone Ash music.
As lead vocalist, bassist and key creative force, founding original member Martin
Turner was central to the critical and commercial success of Wishbone Ash’s most
revered albums; his passionate vocal delivery, songwriting ability, and keen melodic
sense being major components of the definitive Wishbone Ash sound.
The definitive 1970s line-ups of Wishbone Ash – including its trademark harmony
guitars - forged a unique musical identity that would produce some of rock music's
best loved works and influence numerous successful bands, resulting in millions of
album sales and concert attendances. Wishbone Ash’s name would become
synonymous with high quality, guitar-driven melodic rock music.
Many decades later, Martin Turner continues to perform the band’s best loved
works and the music of the classic line-ups of Wishbone Ash continues to delight
audiences worldwide.
This tour commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Classic Ash album, released in
May 1977. Resplendent with its distinctive Hipgnosis-designed artwork, Classic Ash
was an iconic early anthology of Wishbone Ash’s classic material and served as the
perfect introduction to the band’s music for many fans. Expect to hear many of the
classic tracks featured on that album, together with other favourites – songs that
have touched the hearts of several generations of rock music fans. The Classic Ash
tour is one which no true Wishbone Ash aficionado will want to miss.
