The unmistakable voice of Terrorvision to return to Barnoldswick
It’s going to be a special afternoon at the Music & Arts Centre
The unmistakable voice of Terrorvision Tony Wright is set to return to Barnoldswick’s Music & Arts Centre for a very special afternoon matinee.
Wright will hold his matinee show on Saturday, December 5th, where you can expect reimagined Terrorvision classics alongside songs drawn from across Tony's acclaimed solo catalogue—performed with warmth, wit and complete honesty.
As frontman of Terrorvision, Wright was at the forefront of a string of era-defining rock anthems—’Oblivion’,‘Perseverance’, ‘Alice What's The Matter?’, ‘Pretend Best Friend’ and, of course, the irresistible ‘Tequila’. They were songs built on huge choruses, sharp wit and an infectious Yorkshire swagger that transformed festival fields into giant singalongs.
His solo journey began with the remarkable Thoughts 'n' All, an album born from one of the most difficult yet transformative periods of his life. Rather than attempting to recreate Terrorvision's trademark exuberance, Wright deliberately walked away from the comfort of loud guitars.
Instead, he embraced what he calls "anti-production"—allowing every acoustic chord, every crack in the voice and every emotional scar to remain beautifully exposed.
The result was an album that began in darkness but gradually climbed towards hope—a deeply human record that resonated with fans far beyond Terrorvision's traditional audience.
Since then, Tony's solo catalogue has continued to evolve through Walnut Dash and the stunning The Anti-Album, each release revealing new layers of a songwriter unafraid to confront vulnerability, ageing, loss, humour and redemption.
Even as Terrorvision continues to pack theatres, festivals and castles across Britain, Tony's acoustic performances have quietly developed a devoted following of their own. However, in Barnoldswick, Wright’s show will be stripped of distortion, spectacle and stripped of pretence, providing the opportunity to listen to the tracks from a completely different perspective.
