They deserve way more recognition! They made Great albums decade by decade! Incredibly talented guys!

Andy is my Hero. I am a Wishbone Ash Fan since many Years ago. Real Guitars have Wings. Greetings from Germany

"It was the middle of the American century"...awesome, a great summarization of that time period. Knowing a bit about post-war British culture and the hurdles the UK faced, the breaking down of conformist society, the end of colonialism - it blows my mind that the kids of the era just rose up and blew the doors off of popular music worldwide and laid the groundwork for everything about modern music that ever mattered to me as a young man starting in the 70s, and very much up to today. The bands coming out of the British Isles were so aware of the width and breadth of international musical influences, whether eastern, western, avant-garde or traditional and they borrowed from whatever sources they were aware of. What an incredible musical revolution, and one I'm forever grateful for.

Thanks for so much Andy Powell, nuff said

Underrated and way ahead of his time in terms of tone and technicality. I am fortunate to see Ash play annually, easily an influence on me and should be up there as a house hold name with Jimmy Page, Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore, jeff beck.

A fan from the beginning, it never gets old.

Hats off to Andy as he’s still out there killin it and making great music! And…he’s a super great person!!!🤘

fantastic player...way underrated............

This reminded me of the Gibson SG that Tony Iommi played, and the Laney amps he used. Interesting story . Thanks for the post 🎸

Brilliant guitar playing by both Ted and Andy on Argus, why is it not re released on vinyl, it should be. An outstanding album. Thankyou Andy for keeping the band going.

Love Andy Powell,such a class act.Wishbone Ash forever!

I seen wish bone ash in 1970 In fort worth tx I was blown away by their concert twin guitars one of the best concerts i've been to in a longtime and i've seen zeppelin moody blues james gang fleetwood mac Jimmy hendrix a couple of times and wish bone ash was so tight and together !

Great addition to the series. Thank you!

Andy is one of the most underrated guitarist of all time. Fantastic tone and tasty soloing. No shredding required just the right amount of notes with a great sense of space. Seen Ash many times at the Ferry in Glasgow. Looking forward to the next one! Keep rocking Andy!

Love him!!!!!

Andy is a very special and underrated guitar player. Love the early days of Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green!🎧

Without Wishbone Ash there would not be a lot of heavy metal bands around. They influenced so many bands. Still do to this day.

Great interview!! One of my favorite bands of my childhood.

Brilliant band some excellent double guitar on their albums, Argus is my favourite , still as good today, Magic, Andy is some player

ANDY, Laurie Weisfield, Ted Turner....twin lead guitars for the ages... Reunion years, 1987- 1991 excellent!

I just love Andy… so laid back and humble. Wishbone Ash is the premiere twin guitar band for me: nobody ever wrapped two lead guitarists soloing in tandem as musically as they did. And, of course, ‘Argus’ is monumental.

First saw them about 72-73, three gigs in Portsmouth and then a big show at Western Springs Stadium in Auckland NZ (75). I will never forget my excitement as a 14 year old waiting for them to hit the stage.

Such an underrated guitar player

He's the reason my brother love the V and actually started building. First one went to Vanja Sky as a Christmas gift.

Very interesting. 👍🏻

Andy Powell, David Gilmore and Mark Knopfler. My big 3.

Andy is always very modest but I’m sure his melodic sense and tone have been a big inspiration for many guitarists over the years, they certainly have for me.

Legend!!

I saw him last night and was blown away! He still has it at 73.

WoW ! Thank You Andy !!!

Had a couple of conversations with Andy ovee the years about flying V guitars . Once he finds out you play them,then you're friends 😂 . Super cool guy. Really encouraging to me.

I remember my philips cassette machine eating my brand new live dates album in my ford anglia..happy days

merci pour le partage

It was a great video...the self indulgent breaks, so often, was distracting...Great video, otherwise...anything Andy Powell and Wishbone Ash is always a great watch.

Pretty sure Kim Simmonds played a V with Savoy Brown back then also.

Andy Powell is one of my Guitar gods. Bob Mould would be a good V subject, Husker Du days.

After seeing Wishbone Ash for thec second time in '74 I wanted a V, got a '67 V for £250. Still got it. Same colour as Andy's and I fitted pickup rings to complete the look.

Working stage Arkansas River Blues Festival 1990 Albert kings van pulls in with a small trailer. Albert gets out and he comes up to me, I get a stage plot. Photographer took a picture of us and sent it to me later. When it was his turn to set up he just let me do it. I set up his amp pulled out his flying V and sound checked it, just played a few riffs for the sound man to get a line check. There was about 10,000 people out there. I was amazed that I got to play his famous flying V, still AM.

They truly do deseve more recognition...not quite prog or any genre not sure how to classify WA...maybe best not to...WA music. Dual lead in the era of punk new wave and glammy metal is amazing

Read a piece in one of the guitar mags a week ago entitled "10 guitarists who should get a signature V". No mention of Andy. Crying shame considering how long he has played that guitar.

There's another reason: V for Vendetta !

You make it sound good AP

first "big city" concert San Antonio, October 1973

Stevotomic is the flying V of artwork.

Wishbone Ash became a cover-band when they ousted Martin Turner - the founder, songwriter and creative force.

Yeah, OK, so interesting chat about the Flying 'V,' but it's not really a vid that tells Andy's story, is it?

Thats what I like block inlay and binding

For AP and Wishbone Ash, the Flying V is symbolic of the wishbone itself. Anyway, great band particularly the first three albums. 👍

vue 2 fois en concert avec wishbonne hash concert magnifique vive le rock

The reason I bought a guitar at 13 was! Andy Powell/Ted Turner. Still playing today at 65.

The first guitar I ever had was a Japanese Lotus Flying V. I am a drummer first Guitarist second.

Random question did this guy also in manfred mann ?? That guitar player with a Flying V too they look the same

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="305">5:05</a> Andy mentions Blossom Toes!?

Love wishbone ASH as a guitarist without a musical instrument

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="466">7:46</a> in the transition music between statements why do people think that that vibrato riff/note sounds cool? Sounds obnoxious to me. It's right at 747

Why is the sum 3 for me a magic number? It's the same for such bands, it's basically a law of nature: after the third LP/CD, etc., everything went down musically and qualitatively for everyone. From the genius of the first three albums to good ore normal to embarrassing. The reason is that youthful creativity and Inspiration is lost. Or they died at the age of around 30. A natural law that was only withheld from f.e. Bach and Bethoven and Hayden ect. and some jazz musicians and singers.

A love affair for « Strange affair »😉

Wishbone Ash is Ted Turner and Martin Turner ... Andy is not accomplished guitar player and composer . Just listen to early Wishbone Ash works with Ted and Martin they were great albums and live shows ... But Andy's wishbone Ash is not Wishbone Ash anymore .

Great interview but can do without the lame inset pic and random hard rock track.

He demanded most of Argus should reflect the whole band as co-authors. We all know that Martin T was the driving force. A talented guitar player but a creative fraud.

Hendrix didn't look right with a V.

Backstabber 👎

Only person that looks right with a V is Michael Schenker.

Very informative.
