8:40am Wednesday 1st February 2012 in What's On

WISHBONE Ash will be performing at The Barn at the Square and Compass pub in Windmill Hill, Ashill, on Sunday, March 4.

The band was formed by West Country musicians Martin Turner and Steve Upton who arrived in London in 1969 to embark on their musical journey.

Intent on creating the band’s innovative harmony-guitar hallmark, guitarists Ted Turner and Andy Powell were recruited via a now legendary Melody Maker advert.

The partnership of the original line-up of Wishbone Ash forged a unique musical identity which would produce some of rock music’s best-loved works and influence numerous successful bands.

Wishbone Ash would become synonymous with high quality guitar-driven melodic rock music.

To this day, albeit with line-up changes, the enduring music of the classic marks of Wishbone Ash continue to delight audiences worldwide through both live performances and a rich legacy of recorded work that continues to be enjoyed by fans old and new.

Wishbone Ash will begin their concert at The Barn on March 4 at 9pm with venue doors opening at 8pm.

Tickets are priced £12 in advance. Phone 01823-480467 for further details.
