British rock band Wishbone Ash are
returning to South Africa in June 2019 for a nationwide Barnyard tour and will
have one performance at the Barnyard Theatre at Suncoast at June 12, 2019.
In the ramp-up to Wishbone Ash’s 50th
anniversary, the band is celebrating its 49th year in characteristic fashion:
with a world tour, dubbed XLIX (49 in Roman numerals).
Last seen in South Africa on their highly
successful 2015 Live Dates world tour, Wishbone Ash make a welcome return on
their XLIX world tour which kicked off at the Rory Gallagher International
Music Festival in Ireland in June 2018 and takes in Canada, USA, UK and Europe
before arriving in South Africa.
Wishbone Ash travel around 50,000km per
year, performing some 150 gigs a year all over the world, making them one of
rock’s hardest working bands. Andy Powell, founder and 49-year veteran of the
band said, “We really enjoyed the Live Dates tour around South Africa. The
Barnyards have great people, facilities and, of course, audiences that
appreciate classic rock. We look forward to seeing you again.” With more than
35 albums and thousands of gigs under their belt, Wishbone Ash provide an
unforgettable concert experience.
The band includes founding member Andy
Powell on lead vocals and guitar, Yorkshire's Mark Abrahams guitar, Bob Skeat,
a 20-year veteran of the band, bass and vocals, and Joe Crabtree, one of the
best of Britain’s new breed of drummers. Wishbone Ash, the quintessential road
band, is an acknowledged influence on many other bands including Thin Lizzy and
Iron Maiden. All have been transformed by the original, legendary twin-guitar approach
of Wishbone Ash. .
Wishbone Ash has one performance at the Suncoast
Barnyard on June 12, 2019, at 20h00. Tickets R295pp. Booking on 031 940 0500.
