Andy Powell (born Andrew Powell, 19 February 1950, Stepney, London) is an English guitarist and songwriter, and best known as a founding member of Wishbone Ash. Alongside Wishbone Ash's other twin lead guitarist, Ted Turner, the pair were acknowledged as "Two of the Ten Most Important Guitarists in Rock History" (Traffic magazine 1989).
Although born in the East End of London, Powell grew up in the new town of Hemel Hempstead, some 25 miles (40 km) north-east of London. He first played guitar at the age of 11, inspired by rock and beat bands such as The Shadows. Powell, unable to muster funds to buy a brand-new guitar, made a Les Paul-style guitar himself, and began to play in London-based bands such as The Dekois and The Sugar Band.
In 1969, Powell answered a Melody Maker classified in which Martin Turner and Steve Upton advertised for a guitar player. Being unable to choose between Powell and another applicant (Ted Turner), Wishbone Ash was formed with two lead guitarists. The band went on to find considerable worldwide success, being famed for their pioneering use of twin lead guitars – inspiring the likes of Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden and Metallica.
Wishbone Ash are a British rock band who achieved success in the early and mid-1970s. Their popular records included Wishbone Ash (1970), Pilgrimage (1971), Argus (1972), There's the Rub (1974), and New England (1976). They were one of the first bands to use twin lead guitars.
Wishbone Ash are considered to be one of the major innovators of the harmony twin lead guitar format. Their contributions helped Andy Powell and Ted Turner to be voted "Two of the Ten Most Important Guitarists in Rock History" (Traffic magazine 1989), and to appear in the "Top 20 Guitarists of All Time" (Rolling Stone). Melody Maker (1972) described Powell and Turner as "the most interesting two guitar team since the days when Beck and Page graced The Yardbirds".
Formed in Torquay, Devon, in 1969, out of the ashes of trio The Empty Vessels (originally known as The Torinoes, later briefly being renamed Tanglewood in 1969), which had been formed by Wishbone Ash's founding member Martin Turner (bass & vocals) in 1963 and complemented by Steve Upton (drums and percussion) in 1966. The original Wishbone Ash line-up was completed by guitarists/vocalists Andy Powell and Ted Turner. In 1974, Ted Turner left the band, and was replaced by Laurie Wisefield. The band continued on with strong critical and commercial success until 1980.

"If they turned the pitch 90 degrees he would be a great player". Wales number 8 Andy Powell hilarious fail fumbling the ball and running halfway across the pitch sideways during the 6 Nations match against Italy in March 2009 at the Stadio Flaminio in Rome.
V pražském Retru vystoupili v nedělní podvečer 14. 2. 2010 legendární britští rockeři Wishbone Ash. Tahle kapela, míchající art rock, hard rock a blues, funguje již od roku 1969 a stále brázdí se svými koncerty všechny světadíly. Při jejich návštěvě Prahy jsme se zeptali jediného zakládajícího člena Andy Powella na jeho vybavení a on nám velmi sympaticky a podrobně popsal, na jaké hraje kytary, do jakých to jde aparátů a přes jaké krabičky. Společně s ukázkami zvuků to bylo ideální nahlédnutí do kuchyně jednoho z nejoriginálnějších kytaristů.
This is our tribute to a great musician and a great person... Mr Andy Powell.... Thank You Andy....

Wales verse New Zealand, Any Powell flattens Richie MaCaw with an illegal forearm smash across the throat. The very definition of a cheap shot. Unbelievable that hit went completely noticed by all three Match Officials, the IRB foul play citing Officer and the IRB itself. Andy Powell has got away with it, for now.

For me, Wishbone Ash's best music was released in the period 1974 -1981 starting with the album There's The Rub and ending with Number the Brave. When Ted Turner left the band in 1973, his replacement Laurie Wisefield was a brilliant guitarist/songwriter who complemented guitarist Andy Powell perfectly. Bassist/lead singer Martin Turner left after the release of the album Just Testing in 1980. Even though he played a vital role in the band, Wishbone Ash managed to release one of the band's best albums in 1981 called Number The Brave. Legendary bass player/vocalist John Wetton known for his work with bands like Family, Uriah Heep, King Crimson, Asia to name a few was Turner's replacement and he did a great job on Number The Brave. Unfortunately he left after the release of the album. The cl...

Wouldn't you like to see me baby
Is all that you seem to know
My heart is on the ceiling baby
I hang on the ball and chain
You're such a sweet boy, my fascination
Lie in the shade and do it
World domination, your revelation
Keep satisfied and chew it
Smoke inhalation, my heart beating like a drum
Now I'm caught in a spin
Live is a sin
And I won't show it until tonight
And brother what can I do
But throw off my shoes?
Give us some lovin'
Why don't you try?
As I walk down the street
Burn up this heat
I sweat all over from head to toe
'Cause the future is dead
Full steam ahead
I'll can your laughter, and pass it on
Look up and dial the number baby
It's all but a freaky show
Lock out I'm diving under honey
Won't let your cover blow
You're such a sweet boy, my fascination
Lie in the shade and do it
World domination, your revelation
Keep satisfied and chew it
Your cheap suggestions honey
Like bubbles in champagne
Now I'm caught in a spin
Love is a sin
And I won't show it until tonight
And brother what can I do
But throw off my shoes?
Give us some lovin'
Why don't you try?
As I walk down the street
Burn up this heat
I sweat all over from head to toe
'Cause the future is dead
Full steam ahead
I'll can your laughter and pass it on
Locked up inside
Knock on the wood
Everlasting your tears away
As I throw down the stone
And head for the beach
Don't you know it
