  • Host Producer Phil Fiumano interviews Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash He is a original founding member of ''Wishbone Ash'' here's a little history on the band British rock band who achieved success in the early and mid-1970s. Their popular records included Wishbone Ash (1970), Pilgrimage (1971), Argus (1972), There's the Rub (1974), and New England (1976). They were one of the first bands to use twin lead guitars.
    Wishbone Ash are considered to be one of the major innovators of the harmony twin lead guitar format. Their contributions helped Andy Powell and Ted Turner to be voted "Two of the Ten Most Important Guitarists in Rock History" (Traffic magazine 1989), and to appear in the "Top 20 Guitarists Of All Time" (Rolling Stone). Melody Maker (1972) described Powell and Turner as "the most interesting two guitar team since the days when Beck and Page graced The Yardbirds".
    Formed in Torquay, Devon, in 1969, out of the ashes of trio The Empty Vessels (originally known as The Torinoes, later briefly being renamed Tanglewood in 1969), which had been formed by Wishbone Ash's founding member Martin Turner (bass & vocals) in 1963 and complemented by Steve Upton (drums and percussion) in 1966. The original Wishbone Ash line-up was completed by guitarists/vocalists Andy Powell and Ted Turner. In 1974, Ted Turner left the band, and was replaced by Laurie Wisefield.[1] The band continued on with strong critical and commercial success until 1980.
    After revolving line-ups featuring former members from King Crimson, Trapeze, and Uriah Heep, Wisefield left in 1985. In 1987, however, the original line-up reunited for several albums -- Nouveau Calls, Here to Hear and Strange Affair -- until 1990, when Upton quit the band. After Martin Turner was replaced in 1991, the band recorded The Ash Live in Chicago, before Ted Turner left in 1993. Check out Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash @ www.wishboneash.co.uk/

    Martin Turner = hands down, probably one of the best bass players to ever grace progressive music. true gymnast of the bass guitar....and while singing !! the musicality of his playing always equalled the excellence of the twin guitars. RESPECT !! nuff said.

    One of the best prog bands of the early 70'
    Can't understand why Andy and Martin don't just shake hands and get out in the road together again. BOTH GREAT MUSICIANS.

    Grown up on Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Thin Lizzy going one step beyond to Wishbone Ash wasn't hard at all. A natural progression even though quite different from all other three bands.
    Wishbone Ash or Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash? Honestly? I'd easily go see either or both if they came to my town! The band wasn't about big personalities but musicianship and I reckon both shows even today would be quite sweet.
    I have many albums by the band but not all. Can't say I dislike one album yet and even the weaker tracks are enjoyable.
    Keep on rocking!

    The version I heard years ago, was that all the potential band names were put into a sack and when picked, two came out wishbone and ash. So they combined the two...

    Martin Turner WAS and IS Wishbone Ash. The whole sound, the creativity behind Argus. Andy Powell? Good guitarist but a chancer who'd have had nothing without Martin.

      Sorry Anthony, I have to disagree with you. Andy Powell has carried the WA flag for a long time now and Martin Turner has had no musical output wince the seventies while under Andy Powell Wishbone Ash has continued to produce new material. While I have respect for what he did with WA in the 70's, he has been out of it for a long time. Wishbone Ash has been a continuous entity under Andy Powell.

  • @saintsluggo

    Hmmm, considering he was only one fourth of the whole, as Wishbone Ash did not exist until Andy and Ted Joined, I don't believe he's entitle to be called the creative genius. We've seen his total output since leaving WA in the 80's. I guess the creative genius has run out of ideas, which leads one to wonder whom the real creative geniuses really were. Just remember that only one member of the original WA has played on every WA recording since 1970 and it's not your Creative Genius

      Martin Turner was, and still is, Wishbone Ash. There would be no Wishbone Ash without this fabulous musician. Andy Powell was a very good guitar player in his day, not any more. Also, in Mr Powell's interviews, he is very economical with the truth.. Don't forget who gave who a job in the first place..This man should be thanking Martin Turner, instead he forms a inferior tribute band and has the nerve to steal the name Wishbone Ash. He has unfortunately let his true colours shine through for all to see. Shame on you Mr Powell..
