Wishbone Ash release their first official single. 'Reason to Believe' for 20 years on May 17th. Proving an 'old dog' can learn new tricks, the track was recorded after a fan-based Facebook campaign.
To the existing army of WA fans, the track is no great surprise in so far as it has the traditional twin guitar attack with great hooks and pleasing vocals/harmonies. The modern production however, may introduce them to some new recruits who may wish to check out their earlier stuff.
They are one of the most hardworking of bands around and have (well, the only original member, Andy Powell and his trademark 'Flying V' guitar has) toured consistantly for 40 years with 150 gigs already played or scheduled for this year alone.
Their current tour, Reason to Believe, is in association with Harley Davidson and you can catch them in the next week at the following venues:-
