Wishbone Ash

In the organizer's words:

WISHBONE ASH was founded in London in 1969 - right in the middle of the exciting early days of progressive rock. The British band took advantage of the creative climate of this era, developed a characteristic, melodic rock sound and established themselves as one of the most influential guitar bands in rock history. Powerful energy paired with catchy melodies made "The ASH" an exceptional live act that is now being rediscovered by a new generation of rock fans. Over the course of their career, the band has repeatedly ventured into different styles - from folk, blues and jazz to hard rock and electronic influences. What always makes WISHBONE ASH unmistakable, however, is the harmonious interplay between their two lead guitars - a trademark that has been a major inspiration for groups such as Thin Lizzy, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Iron Maiden and Opeth. They finally created a musical monument with their album "Argus".
