Founding Wishbone Ash member Martin Turner has announced a 19-date UK winter tour.
The vocalist and bassist will perform tracks from throughout his career including material from his 2015 album Written In The Stars.
Turner says: “We had such a great reception from audiences at our recent Written In The Stars shows in the UK, Poland and Germany, we can’t wait to return to UK stages next month.
“I’m overwhelmed by the emotional connection audiences continue to make with the classic Wishbone Ash music which has been a backdrop to so many people’s lives – mine included.
“The material from the recent Written In The Stars album, which is in the same ballpark melodically and musically, has been very well received wherever we have played.”
In addition, a 32-disc CD box set titled Wishbone Ash: The Vintage Years is to be released by Snapper Music during 2017⁄18.
It’s said to be the “deepest anthology of Wishbone Ash’s classic period to date” and is being compiled with “full co-operation and involvement of all key members of the definitive classic line-ups – Turner, Steve Upton, Ted Turner, Andy Powell and Laurie Wisefield.”
Further details will be revealed in due course.
