The ex member of Wishbone Ash will be gracing the stage of Swindon's Level 3 nightclub this month.
Turner will play the Swindon venue as part of the Wishbone Gold tour, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the formation of the original Wishbone Ash.
His concert will feature a full performance of Wishbone Ash’s classic 1971 album Pilgrimage – as well as other favorites from the classic era of Wishbone Ash, including Argus highlights.
Martin Turner continues to perform the band’s best-loved works with his current line-up, guitarists Danny Willson and Misha Nikolic, and drummer Tim Brown.
The Wishbone Gold tour will mark the very first-time Pilgrimage has been performed in its entirety on stage and this tour is an event that no Wishbone Ash aficionado will want to miss.
The event will take place at Level III on 17 December, with doors opening at 8:00pm.
Tickets are priced at £15 (excluding booking fee) and can be purchased from https://www.seetickets.com/event/martin-turner-ex-wishbone-ash/level-3/1809354
The band was formed by West Country musicians Martin Turner and Steve Upton, who arrived in London in 1969 to embark on their musical journey.
A spokesperson for the band said: "Intent on creating a musical sound that was rich in texture and melody, Martin Turner envisaged the band’s innovative harmony-guitar hallmark and guitarists Ted Turner and Andy Powell were recruited via a now legendary Melody Maker advert.
"The partnership of the original line-up of Wishbone Ash forged a unique musical identity that would produce some of rock music’s best-loved works and influencing numerous successful bands, resulting in millions of album sales and concert attendances. Wishbone Ash would become one of the most enduring British rock acts – its name synonymous with high quality guitar-driven melodic rock music.
"Five decades later, the music of the classic line-ups of Wishbone Ash continues to delight audiences worldwide through both live performances and a rich legacy of recorded work that continues to be enjoyed by fans old and new.
"As lead vocalist and key creative force, founding original member Martin Turner was central to the critical and commercial success of Wishbone Ash’s most revered albums, with his passionate vocal delivery, songwriting ability, keen melodic sense, and production values being major ingredients in the definitive Wishbone Ash sound."
