An Acoustic Evening With
Tony Wright
Tony Wright is best known as the singer for
Bradford rock band Terrorvision. However, when
he’s not touring with Terrorvision, he writes,
records and tours under his own name with a
setlist made up of songs he has written on his
acoustic guitar – some upbeat, some melancholic,
but all thought-provoking.
