<\/p>\nSimon’s been mad on ASH for many years so I joined him on a trip to York to catch them and I can definitely see the attraction – the energy in the room was amazing with top tune after top tune and moshing the likes of, I’ve not seen for a while. When I think of Ash I remember Peel playing theirt debut ‘1977’ LP when they were still at school…..of when I saw them headline Glastonbury twice in ’97 when they were a last minute replacement on the Pyramid after headlining the Other Stage the night before……..and feel ashamed that I’ve not kept up with them…..you can bet that I will from now on!<\/p>\n

Bob and I were saying a couple of weeks ago that we should go to a gig Due to it being my first time at the Dutchess, I must admit I had The support was a Sheffield based band called Mabel Love<\/a>. We were both While writing this I’m trying to remember when I first discovered Ash, and I I’ve only ever seen Ash play to big crowds at V and Glastonbury before, and Playing songs from almost all of their albums, here are the ones that I can They clearly enjoyed it, as well as everybody else there. I hope (know) Mr Thank you Ash… and my cousin Bob.<\/p>\n Simon.
\ntogether soon, and a day or so later I got an email announcing that Ash<\/a> were
\nplaying at the above mentioned the following Monday… And of course… We
\nwere on it!<\/p>\n
\nbutterflies in anticipation as we descended the gloomy steps after being
\nwelcomed by the friendly staff. And as my eyes adjusted to the low level
\nlight, I thought : This is my kind of place… I like it! We found a pint, a
\nseat on a comfy sofa and waited for the show to start.<\/p>\n
\npleasantly surprised and impressed by their sound. Bob said it reminded him
\nof Echo and the Bunnymen. (With myself only knowing Killing Moon by EATB, I couldn’t possibly comment. But I liked it).<\/p>\n![\"ash](\"https:\/\/sleigh-munoz.co.uk\/quims\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/ash1.jpg\")

\nhave to admit that its a little hazy. It may have something to do with the
\nfact that I was living in east London, in a house share with some other
\nAfricans at the time. And being in my early 20’s, in the mid 90’s, working
\nin Londons kitchens as a porter, it sometimes got a bit messy. I do,
\nhowever, remember a Poster of the Angel Interceptor<\/a> single in our lounge
\nwhen it was released, and that was probably where it started.<\/p>\n
\nI have to say… here… they comprehensively blew me away! Absolutely
\nbrilliant. Well practised and precise. Exactly what you’d expect from a unit
\nthat has been around for 20 years or so. A great mix of old and
\nnew, that even the uninitiated could enjoy. Genius. YES… YES… YES!<\/p>\n![\"ash](\"https:\/\/sleigh-munoz.co.uk\/quims\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/ash2.jpg\")

\nremember : Trailer (Petrol, Jack Names the Planets), 1977 (Goldfinger, Girl
\nfrom Mars<\/a>, Kung Fu, Oh Yeah) , Free All Angels (Burn Baby Burn, Shining
\nLight, Walking Barefoot), Meltdown (Orpheus), A-Z Series<\/a> (Return of White
\nRabbit, Arcadia, The Dead Disciples, Sky Burial), I’m sure a track listing <\/a>
\ncan be found somewhere.<\/p>\n
\nWheeler and his mates (will) produce plenty more. Here sits one happy man.<\/p>\n
