Wishbone Ash 40th DVD

It's out now! Wishbone Ash celebrated their 40th anniversary at the Shepperd Bush Empire in may this year and I was invited to play on a couple of songs (Almighty Blues and Faith, Hope & Love which I wrote for the Bonafide album in 2001). The gig was filmed and here's a little taster, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyGyJhad ... re=channel from the DVD.

Enjoy and support this great band by buying the DVD from www.wishboneash.com

Cheers,

Ben

Home sweet home...

This band is getting better and better every gig! That's a fact!
Despite my terible tooth/jaw ache episode in the middle of these dates (thank good the worst spell was during the off days!) all the gigs went better than I could have hoped for.
AND we now finally have a booker in Germany, Bärbel Kuhn http://www.life-on-stage.de/ will handle things from now on.

Met a lot of friends again and finally got to jam with Christian Tolle from Cooper Inc. who opened up for us at the last gig. Check them out, they're a suberb band. I believe Christian is putting somehting up on youtube....

I'd especially like to thank Beavis out soundguy/tourmanager... this team works so well! Hopefully we'l have lot's of gigs next year.
We're starting to rehearse new stuff next week and also demoing at the same time.

Harry and Lothar deserve a special mentioning as well, their partys are now welknown to a LOT of rock music fans, keep up the good work!

Also all the nice promoters from the clubs and you the fans/friends... C U next year!

Cheers,

Ben
