Here's an
introduction to Wishblowin
Ash:
Wishblowin' Ash are tribute
to Wishbone Ash run
by Maurice Douglas,
although the band is
no longer up and
running Maurice
continues to pay
tribute to their
fine music and
achievements, you
can never say never
If the right players
become available,
and at some point
the band may raise
its head again, In
the meantime, I will
continue recording
Wishbone music in my
studio and uploading
the songs to this
website, at present
I have my head stuck
deep into my own
acoustic project, I
have just purchased
a new Taylor 210c
Acoustic Guitar and
a Fishman Aura
Acoustic Imaging
Unit while using 2
Condenser Mics for
Acoustic Recording.
"Sadly"
The
full line up of Wishblowin' Ash in
its present format,
no longer exists,
and from a personal
point of view I have
to say I feel very
disappointed and let
down by the way it
all fell apart, I
put my heart and
soul into this band,
gave up much much of
my every day life,
and
to think of the time I
have spent working
on the WEBSITE / ASHCON
/ ARRANGING THE
MUSIC / THE EVERYDAY
RUNNING OF THE BAND,
not to mention I
rarely ever got paid
for my efforts, I don't
think anyone would
argue my dedication
to music whether it
be a Wishbone Ash
tribute band or song
writing e.t.c. the
money thing aint
important but if you
get paid along the
way then that's an
extra bonus, I'm not
one for chopping and
changing bands
either, you have
stay the distance
and if you have a
bad apple in the
basket you get rid
of it, i'm a big
believer in seeing
the job through,
personally if I had
the chance to join
Martin Turners band
for example, I would
walk there and play
for nothing, and I
suppose that is what
makes me different
to some people when
it comes to music,
that
was the attitude I
took when I appeared
with Andy Powell's
Wishbone Ash at ASHCON 2006 truly it
was a great honour
to be invited to
play alongside a
fantastic guitar
player.
CD, At last I
will now get the
chance to complete
my new original
recordings which I
have neglected due
to the fact I have
put all my energy
into this Wishbone
Ash tribute band,
still I have no
regrets and I will
continue in my
quest.

New Update For
Maurice - 26 /3 / 2007
Now that I
have my Roland Fantom X7 at my finger tips,
I have been constantly laying down ideas and
tracks for new original songs, the libraries
of sounds and patches are endless, it makes
things easier when you are writing and
creating music as you can shape the thing
around the way you want it to sound when
completed, I normally replace some of the
keyboard parts with real guitars, but with
the keyboard playing substitute guitar parts
you can hear everything together, but as
ever most of my energy at the moment is
getting this Wishbone band up and running.
