I was thinking of going to Pontardawe on Sunday, it's only 12 miles from me so I should really go. I went to see them at Aberdare last November.Wishbone Ash, at the Phoenix, Exeter on Friday

I used to see them regularly, but haven't for years now. I enjoyed them more live when Martin Turner was still in the band.I was thinking of going to Pontardawe on Sunday, it's only 12 miles from me so I should really go. I went to see them at Aberdare last November.

They are still good, not quite the same, but Andy Powell is the only original member, and he is USA based now I recall.I used to see them regularly, but haven't for years now. I enjoyed them more live when Martin Turner was still in the band.
Saw Wishbone Ash last night in Exeter with my brother and some friends. They were absolutely brilliant the best I've ever seen of the non-original line-ups (Mark Abrahams the 2nd guitarist was incredible), the band were grinning all the time as they were enjoying it as well. The Phoenix Arts Centre where they played was absolutely packed it must have been over capacity (450 max.) as you only had about a square foot to stand in (saw Hawkwind there once and it was even more rammed!), and steaming hot, somebody had to be carried out! Well worth going to see.They are still good, not quite the same, but Andy Powell is the only original member, and he is USA based now I recall.
The original line-up was great to see live. I believe Martin Turner is no longer allowed to use the Wishbone Ash name even as Martin Turner's W******e A**, but he did remix Argus in 2001-2 so the multi's for that do exist or did exist.
Dang. Anybody want to meet me in Knoxville next spring? (Better yet: anybody want to buy me a $700 premier seating pass?)

The only names I don't know are Davóne Tines and Yasmin Williams. I'd go hear any of the others individually if I had a chance (in fact, I'm hearing Molly Tuttle next week!), although I'd be most excited about Amidon, Anderson, Argue, and Mehldau.An old house mate friend in San Diego brought this to my attention, recently as thinking about attending. I haven't sorted it out yet! It's about 3 hours away from me. Who do you want to see?
Not upcoming but I just got clearance to post this today;
By kind permission of the bandleader (Adam Holzman), here is Brave New World playing their version of Steven Wilson's Abandoner. This was a pre-tour (Europe) intimate warmup gig I attended in 2019 at NuBlu151 in NYC. My view was from the upper deck behind the band. Adam's Truth Decay robot visible in the center!
