The band reflected on doing what they love for most of their lives, their first gig to a field of cows in Co Down and what makes playing in Northern Ireland so special
Co Down rock band ASH is ready to mark 30 years of making music with an exciting homecoming show next month.
Guitarist Tim said: "It just doesn't feel like 30 years have passed - that's a long time and it doesn't feel like that, weirdly. "There has been loads of big moments - the Good Friday Agreement gig was a huge deal as well and was so mad that we got to be involved in that." Tim continued: "It's going to be a really great show and with it being our 30th anniversary, we really wanted it to cover our whole career so there will be early stuff right up to what we are doing now.
"When we talk about highlights, the Waterfront show was a big one because it seems to have been such a monumental shifting point in the history of the country and it was really good to have been a part of that," Mark continued. "It's just part of our DNA these days," Rick said. "The first time we got together post-Covid, I hadn't seen these guys for probably the longest time ever and getting into the practice room, I think there was a bit of anxiety not having played together for so long.The band revealed that their fans can expect some new music in 2023 and have thanked them for being a part of this wild ride with them since 1992.
