Wishbone Ash
Wishbone Ash, one of the most influential guitar bands in the history of rock, will play 4 shows at Barnyard Theatres as part of the South African leg of their 2015 Blue Horizon World Tour.
Formed in 1969, Wishbone Ash has to its credit 24 original studio recordings, 10 live albums and four live DVDs along with a DVD rockumentary “This is Wishbone Ash”. The band is led by founding member Andy Powell on guitar and vocals, trading licks with Finland’s guitar wizard Muddy Manninen. Bassist Bob Skeat, a 17-year veteran of the band and in-demand studio musician, sets the pace with Joe Crabtree, one of the best of Britain’s new breed of drummers whose performance credits include Pendragon and David Cross of King Crimson.
In 2014, Wishbone Ash released Blue Horizon to international acclaim. According to Andy Powell, the new album’s diversity reflects the culmination of several factors. All have been transformed by the original, legendary twin-guitar approach of Wishbone Ash -there is no other rock band in history that has done more with the twin guitar concept than The Ash. Long time fans and new converts will find that Wishbone Ash offers an undeniable concert experience.
Catch them this Sunday at the Barnyard Theatre in Pretoria. Tickets are on sale for R250 per person.
