Another #wishboneash from the cupboard Number The Brave. No #martinturner so songwriting by committee with largely lumpen results. Lyrics were pretty awful, 6th form stuff. John Wetton on bass/vocals doesn’t add much of his stamp. He seemed to turn up at lots of bands in the 70’s and not stay long. Claire Hamill on vocals, again not adding much. This was a band in transition. They’d sacked Turner and really didn’t have the depth of melody. A rock cover of Smokey’s Get Ready reeks of desperation
Martyn Turner's despairing cartoon compares our attention on the grubby RTÉ stuff with the world's climate collapse

Gigging tomorrow #martinturner ex #wishboneash playing some of his classics songs from his time in the band. This #streaming re-recording of #argus is very good with the dual guitars reproducing the iconic lines. Turner’s bass guitar work is also very melodic and compliments the leads. Saw Ash last year and loved it although I always feel that vocally they miss Turner. Will be interesting to compare his band to Ash

A great show from #MartinTurner ex #WishboneAsh last night in Cardiff.

and I nabbed a table on the balcony so an excellent view and we didn't have to stand all night which is always a bonus. We got the whole of the Live Dates album plus a few extras.
#MartinTurner #WishboneAsh - first heard Argos in then Bombay in 1993 and 30 years later every time I listen to, it feels like yesterday. ❤️
#MartinTurner #WishboneAsh #LadyJay ah what a song! ❤️
Now I stumble through the mist
To where they laid her in the grave,
And maybe I'll remember
The flowers for my days.
Far beyond the sand
I will take your hand,
The spirit of our love will live forever.
Far beyond the clouds
We will laugh aloud,
The spirit of our love will live again.
