I don’t think I’ve asked this question to someone who’s had a Number One album by this point… but what do you wish the 18-year-old you knew?
“Maybe to be patient, or don’t freak out so much whenever things are going wrong. Maybe I’d tell myself to stand up for myself a bit more, because the schedule we were under as 18/19-year-olds was so intense. It was like an out of control train or something, it was hard to get time off or things like that. But at the same time, when you’re having big success it is good to roll with it so it’s hard to know how I could’ve possibly managed it differently.
I would’ve loved to have found a way to enjoy it a bit more, the first success we had. I was struggling with it a bit. When our third album went to Number One, I enjoyed that one a lot more and that’s cos I was telling myself that I’d had that experience before and hadn’t really enjoyed it so I wanted to enjoy it more. Maybe I’d tell myself to get a therapist, that’s what I needed to cope with it. I guess the music industry wasn’t big on mental health in those days. I’d probably tell myself to take less drugs, because the mad chemical imbalances that were going on weren’t helping my mental state at that age. I’d tell myself to chill out a bit more!”

A Life & Times interview with the one and only Tim Wheeler, the Ash frontman and singer-guitarist. It’s a free edition, link in bio.
09 Nov 2026
From teenage Britpop phenomenon to Glastonbury Pyramid Stage headliner, Tim Wheeler has spent more than 30 years at the heart of one of Britain’s great guitar bands. This March, the Ash frontman comes to Frome for a rare, intimate evening of acoustic performances and stories from an extraordinary career, hosted by BBC 6 Music’s Chris Hawkins.

🪑 All seated
From writing Girl From Mars while still a teenager to Ash’s platinum-selling UK No.1 album 1977, Tim Wheeler has written some of the defining guitar anthems of the last three decades, including Goldfinger, Oh Yeah, Shining Light, Burn Baby Burn and Sometimes.
There’s also a remarkable Somerset connection. In 1997, Ash were called upon to headline Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage after already headlining the Other Stage that same weekend, becoming the youngest band ever to headline the Pyramid at the time.
Now, as Ash celebrate 30 years of 1977, Tim joins Chris Hawkins for an intimate evening looking back over more than three decades of records, touring and extraordinary stories from life in one of Britain’s most enduring alternative rock bands.
Along the way, Tim will perform acoustic versions of songs from across his career, offering a rare chance to hear some of Ash’s biggest tracks stripped back and up close.
Chris Hawkins is one of BBC 6 Music’s most respected broadcasters, with interview credits including Dave Grohl, The Killers, Florence Welch, Björk, Jack White and Calvin Harris.

Tim Wheeler of Ash remembers the night he met Kurt Cobain and Nirvana after their Belfast gig in 1992. 👀
He also reveals the very unfortunate fate of a pair of jeans that had been signed by Kurt… 😂

Tim Wheeler, acclaimed songwriter, guitarist and frontman of legendary Northern Irish rock band Ash, will embark on a special solo acoustic tour of intimate grassroots venues across Ireland this October.
A celebration of Ireland’s rich live music culture, the tour shines a spotlight on the small independent venues that play a vital role in nurturing artists and keeping the country’s music scene thriving. These are venues that have long been close to Tim’s heart, making this run of shows especially meaningful.
He says “I’m excited to announce my first solo acoustic tour and no better place to start than Ireland. I’ve really enjoyed playing one-off acoustic shows recently. The songs have taken on a new life in a stripped down performance, it’s cool connecting with the crowd in an intimate room and I’ve been blown away hearing everyone sing along with the hits.
I’m delighted this tour will be in grassroots venues across Ireland. I’m looking forward to returning to Mike The Pies where we’ve had two very memorable Ash shows and Spirit Stores where we had a fantastic gig last year. I’m also really looking forward to playing some towns I’ve never played before, Tullamore and Newcastle West. Then finishing somewhere very familiar, the scene of many of the best Ash gigs ever, in the Fair City herself.”
The tour also coincides with the 30th anniversary of Ash’s landmark debut album, 1977. Fans will have the chance to celebrate the milestone ahead of the album’s anniversary reissue, released on Friday 16 October.
Stripping the songs back to their essentials, Tim will perform material spanning his celebrated career with Ash alongside highlights from his solo catalogue. These intimate performances will offer audiences a rare opportunity to experience the stories behind some of his best-loved songs in unique, up-close settings.
