WISHBONE ASH founding member Martin Turner will be filming and recording a live DVD/CD, for release later in 2016, during his upcoming 'Written In The Stars' Spring Tour.
Filming and recording will take place at St Helens Citadel on Friday, February 26, where Martin and his band – Danny Willson (guitar), Tim Brown (drums) and Misha Nikolic (guitar) - will be playing a specially extended set that will feature 2015’s award-winning “Written In The Stars” album being performed in its entirety, followed by a selection of WISHBONE ASH classics spanning the Martin Turner years.
“We’ve been playing selected tracks from “Written In The Stars” for some time now, even prior to the album’s release," says Martin Turner. “We have been truly overwhelmed by the positive reaction to the album and were already planning to play a more varied selection on the upcoming dates. However, while trying out all songs from the album during rehearsals, it soon became apparent not only how well all the songs lend themselves to live performance but also how the full album works as a “piece” – in much the same way as “Argus” did. Wouldn’t it be a shame then if we did not capture “Written In The Stars – Live” for posterity?”
