HAILED by concert goers and reviewers alike as one of the best bands on stage for more than 30 years, Wishbone Ash are on the way to Morecambe.

The progressive 70s rock band, right, will be at the Platform on Wednesday October 15.

Back in the early 70s, founding members Andy Powell and Ted Turner were renowned for their distinctive twin guitar style.

The British press crowned Ash as both 'brightest new hope' and 'best new band' in 1972, and over the years they have gone on to win a legion of fans.

The multi-million selling album 'Argus', released in 1972, is considered to be one of the all time classic rock albums, along with the highly praised 1996 album 'Illuminations'

The current line-up consists of Andy Powell and Ben Granfelt on guitars, Ray Western on drums and Bob Skeat on bass.

The band is now busy promoting its latest album entitled 'Tracks'.

Tickets for the concert are available from the box office on 01524-582803.
