An Evening of Wishbone Ash Music…and Beyond

Martin Turner Band by Manny Manson 3322 copy

Martin Turner, founder of the legendary Wishbone Ash, one of Britain’s most enduring and best loved melodic rock acts, continues his 33-date The Beauty of Chaos 2017 UK tour, which will include rare performances of the seminal Wishbone Ash album, ARGUS, in its entirety.

It is 45 years since Argus, Wishbone Ash’s third and most popular album was released, when it reached No. 2 in the UK album charts and was named Album of the Year by UK music press. Vocalist & bassist Martin Turner was the main composer, lyricist and creative force behind this critically acclaimed album, which remains one of the most enduring works of the classic rock era.

Martin Turner’s The Beauty of Chaos tour will also feature classic album tracks and stage favourites from the extensive Wishbone Ash repertoire, as well as material from the recent ‘Written in the Stars album that remains true to the original Wishbone Ash blueprint.

Turner says: “My band – Danny, Tim and Misha – and I are looking forward to the upcoming tour. As always fans can expect a mix of songs from various albums, further exploration of the extensive Wishbone Ash catalogue and selected cuts from the more recent ‘Written in the Stars’ album. This time around we will also be including full performance of ‘Argus’. I’m constantly being made aware how this album still resonates with people and holds a special place in their hearts, some 45 years after its release. This I believe is due to the strong melodic content of the music and the universal themes – everyone can relate to the lyrical references to time, space, war, etc. The album marked a creative peak of the original band, with inspired contributions from all. In 2017, I feel the band has a great empathy for the music and the ability to reproduce the album faithfully onstage in a way that is fresh and exciting.”

Formed in 1969 by Turner and Steve Upton, Wishbone Ash forged a unique musical identity that produced some of rock music’s best loved works, influenced numerous successful bands and resulted in millions of album sales.
