Re: Rotherham Rocks 08

Nice review. How interesting that you saw a completely difference version of Wishbone Ash than we saw at RosFest. They rocked the house at RosFest.

I'm very interested to see The Watch if they ever come back across the pond.

Thanks for a great review and pics.

Re: Rotherham Rocks 08

Thanks OHD. A forum virgin here! I have seen both the versions of Wishbone Ash now and they both need to be applauded for strutting their funky stuff! My personal point of view has to be with Martin Turner for his rendition of Argus and Andy Powell for the future direction of the group. They are both great and it would be so cool to see them together! The Watch is a must see group, hope you get the chance to see them.

Re: Rotherham Rocks 08

Thanks Eloy for the great review. Rocket Scientists is fun - and all top-notch people. you are right on with your assessments of Don, Mark, and Erik. And lana...yes she is a bit plus-size shall we say...but I like that.

I didn't care much for the Watch when I saw them at Rosfest...but as I read more reviews like this I am willing to try again.

It does seem the only two people who don't want Wishbone Ash together are Martin and Andy That's ok in the UK you get 2 for 1

Re: Rotherham Rocks 08

After driving for an hour through the Yorkshire countryside I finally found Wath Upon Derne near Rotherham, a place famed in the UK for the Start of the National Miners Strike back in the 70’s.

And...Wath is where my Mum was born! (important to nobody but me). Thanks for the review.

I rather like the fuller figure too! But I am a Yorkshire man!!
Hope the next time you see The Watch you are convinced about their quality.
We are exceptionally lucky to have the two Wishbone Ash's, but would love to see the One again.

Is that a prerequisite? Slowly learning by British terms
