Ash was influenced by the songwriting of Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Tom Petty and on the live scene by going down the pub to watch Steve Simpson’s Chuck Farley, formerly of Ronnie Lane’s slim chance. Naturally Ash was really pleased when Steve agreed to play mandolin on his album, Evolver. Ash’s first solo gig was at the “Mean Fiddler” in Harleseden. A melody maker journalist came back from a couple down the pub and decided to bill Ash as “Ashllos Grigorious”. After that Ash spent many years touring in America, Belgium, Germany and the UK.
