WISHBONE ASH
VENUE WYLAM BREWERY, NEWCASTLE DATE 19/09/2023
We hardly drink these days,” says “W Wishbone’s Ash’s venerable leader Andy Powell, alluding to tonight’s ale manufacturing venue. Recreating the tracklisting of their classic 1973 LP Live Dates (adding Real Guitars Have
Wings at the beginning plus encores Living Proof and Persephone), it’s clear that the Ash know how to organise a pit stop in a brewery. Though the 7.30pm start has latecomers scrambling for their seats after the slow-building folk prog classic The King Will Come has already been crowned, it’s apparent that no one will go home feeling shortchanged tonight.
