Having just returned from a splendid (much better than I expected, given the man’s recent health traumas) Wilko Johnson show, I thought I’d share this recent clip of… Wishbone Ash.
Here they are two days ago, near the end of what I understand was a monumentally brutal tour (logistically). But they still have ‘The Power’ – a beautiful track from their best album in recent years, IMO, Power Of Eternity.
I’m looking forward to seeing them in Paris in two weeks, on two of three shows in a bijou theatre filming a new DVD. Should be fun.
Saw them a few weeks ago, on the Live dates tour, in Milton Keynes. I have hardly missed a tour in 43 years. They sound fantastic and AP is in top, top form. When I am asked to list my all-time favourite guitarists, Andy Powell will always be in the Top 5. And a nicer bunch of blokes you could not wish to meet.
I was there too (November ’14). Look out for the Andy P assisted autobiography later this year (HOPEFULLY in time for the October UK tour)…
God, November? So it was. The book is on my birthday list for the end of September.
