Kootenay Concert Connection in association with EZ Rock presents Great Britain's WISHBONE ASH Live with Special Guest DAVID GOGO
England’s own Wishbone Ash come to The Bailey with their blues/rock spectacular.
The classic rock band of the late ’60s and early ’70s enjoys a unique place in popular
musical history. Inspired equally by British folk traditions and American jazz and R&B, the group
played to public and critical acclaim.
The band includes founding member Andy Powell, who handles lead vocals and trades licks
with Yorkshire's Mark Abrahams. Bassist Bob Skeat, a 20-year veteran of the band, keeps the
bottom rocking with Joe Crabtree, one of the best of Britain’s new breed of drummers whose
performance credits include Pendragon and David Cross of King Crimson.
Recording highlights are, of course, the multi-million selling 1972 album “Argus,” considered
to be one of the all-time classic rock albums. The band's biggest seller, “Live Dates” (1973), is one of the highly rated live albums of the
1970s. With 24 studio releases, 11 live albums and five live DVDs to date, Wishbone Ash continues
to prove they are not a band to rest on their laurels.
