HelBic 9th Oct 2017		Review I also attended this gig, and haven't seen any incarnation of Ash for around 20 years. I was lucky enough to see the band with the original lineup which was great. This time around only Martin Turner from the orignal lineup was in attendance (and yes, I know that this isn't Ash but that's only because MT can't use the name anymore, instead having to be billed as "Martin Turner - Ex Wishbone Ash". I found Danny Willson to be a good guitar player and his vocals fit snugly against Martin's. The other guitarist on the band is Misha Nikolic who was also pretty good but didn't appear as good as DW. Of course, this could have been because he wasn't given as much to do! Last but not least was Tim Brown on drums. He was good using a very small kit. Finally a word about Martin's performance. It was good, nay great .... but for a man his age. He is now in his seventh decade and it is (unsurprisingly) starting to show in his vocal performance. He can't get the higher notes of old and his sustain has blown but hey, still very much worth watching and a good gig. 5 people found this review helpful.   ✔︎ Helpful Review?
kab2112 SUBS 8th Oct 2017		Danny Wilson was a guitarist in Showaddywaddy. After the gig he said "Well, everyone has something in their past.........."
kab2112 SUBS 7th Oct 2017		Review Andy Powell apparently owns the rights to the name Wishbone Ash and Martin Turner can't use it other than ex Wishbone Ash. Martin Turner and drummer Steve Upton recruited Andy Powell and Ted Turner to he band in 1969. Andy Powell's version of Wishbone Ash are musically very good, but the singing lets them down as does most of the material written after Martin Turner and the excellent Laurie Wisefield left the band. Martin Turner's sets are always mainly Wishbone Ash material. Andy Powell's sets include quite of lot of his later material which I find to be nowhere near as good as the Wishbone Ash stuff. Martin Turner's band are more in tune with Wishbone Ash fans like myself, having seen the various line-ups 28 times since about 1972 7 people found this review helpful.   ✔︎ Helpful Review?
