Martin Turner ex Wishbone Ash, Leconfield Hall, Petworth, Sept 17, 7.45pm

“In 1969, when Martin Turner co-founded Wishbone Ash little did he know that their music would go on to define the 70s for their fans. Like all great rock bands, they have had disagreements leading to departures and arrivals and lawsuits. Through all this time Martin has remained steadfast, followed his heart and, apart from a brief period producing, stayed performing. Martin's arrival in Petworth, to perform Wishbone Ash's 1972 album Argus, arguably their definitive work, followed by 1973's Wishbone Four, their first self-produced album, promises an epic night.”
