Revision as of 00:32, 10 August 2004 by Fee mercury moon (talk | contribs) ('bold' corrected (sorry))(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Wishbone Ash was a British heavy metal band, formed in 1966 (see 1966 in music) as The Empty Vessels, then Tanglewood. The group settled on Wishbone Ash and soon began performing in England, including with Deep Purple. The original line-up was Andy Powell, Ted Turner, Martin Turner and Steve Upton. In 1970, the band released Wishbone Ash to generally positive reviews and sales. A long series of albums have been released in the 1970s and thereafter, and multiple personnel changes followed. In spite of a rabid following, Wishbone Ash was never able to achieve widespread success. That said they still have a very large fan base and are constantly on touring, currently as of 2004.
Q: A T.Rex Connection?
- A: Wishbone Ash wrote a song about the site where Marc Bolan of T Rex died called Bolan's Monument. The site is now Bolan's Rock Shrine visited by many people (from around the world) each year and cared for on a charitable basis by TAG (founded in 1999).
