Ray Weston

Ray Weston is a Scottish drummer, most noted for his work with Wishbone Ash.^[1]

Early career

Weston performed in numerous Scottish bands before moving to London in the 1980s, where he met Martin Turner. He established himself as a session musician, performing in the studio with such artists as Bill Wyman, Del Shannon and Cliff Richard. Weston quotes Ultravox's final tour on his CV^{[citation needed]}. In fact he never played with the band but was part of Humania, keyboard player Billy Currie's side-project. In 1990 Weston once again met with Martin Turner who requested he replace Steve Upton.^[2]

Wishbone Ash

Weston joined Wishbone Ash for the Strange Affair album and subsequent tour (of which the Live in Chicago album was made). On leaving in 1993, he continued work as a session player and joined the house bands for Viva Cabaret, The Jack Dee Show, The Paul Merton Show and An Audience with... Freddie Starr. He rejoined Wishbone Ash in 1998, and recorded the Bare Bones, Bona Fide and Clan Destiny albums before leaving once again in 2007.^[2]
