MASTERS OF THE TWIN GUITARS

Wishbone Ash is one of the most influential bands in rock history, having profoundly influenced colleagues from Thin Lizzy to Iron Maiden with their unique dual-lead guitar sound. Just under a year after their last show, the lineup led by original singer and guitarist Andy Powell returns to Z7 with songs spanning five and a half decades of band history.

Wishbone Ash has performed with us nine times since 2010, and we just can't get enough. Most recently, they were here in February 2024 with their "Live Dates" tour, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the eponymous million-seller. And in 2025, the fantastic live band from Torquay, England will once again grace Pratteln, treating their fans to an enthralling show and a program of all-time favorites. Founded in 1969, Wishbone Ash is now led by lead guitarists Andy Powell and Mark Abrahams (since 2017). Bassist Bob Skeat, who has been with the band for 27 years, sets the pace with drummer Mike Truscott (since 2022). Over the years, the band has experimented with various musical styles, from folk, blues, and jazz to pedal-to-the-metal rock and electronic music. But regardless of the style, Wishbone Ash's trademark remains the unmistakable sound of the two lead guitars that have influenced bands like Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Iron Maiden, and Opeth. There is probably no other band that has made more of the twin-guitar concept than Wishbone Ash.
