Dancing to the beat of Chilli Chicken legs
about it.
“I write music to move to. At the heart of everything I write is a pulse and it’s always the starting point in its creation. I like to engage with people so there’s always that. I have a great band that I would pay to go and see and the harmonies now are fantastic.
“So people will get an energetic performance when they see my band perform this album live with tap along tunes performed by great musicians and topped with mass harmonies.”
Gary Wight is a well-known face on the North East’s songwriting circuit and has written and recorded over 500 tracks since bursting onto the scene with his former bands Mojo Pep and Zubi in the 1990s.
He’s the latest artist to be signed to Tyneside’s Factory Records inspired music label, Ginger Syrup Records, the brainchild of celebrated producer Dee Dowling.
Gary Wight will be announcing tour dates soon to tie in with the new album release and will be heading around some of the region’s and the UK’s iconic venues.
He says all tracks are a lyrical approach to the well-worn topics of love, loss and social comment. He added: “I would hope the music will be at least appreciated. There is some wonderful stuff on it, I like it a lot. I love the playing and the approach and it is different to what you have already.
“I feel the songs have merit and the lyrics have meaning.” Welcome to the Dance of Chili Chicken Legs is out now and available for digital download priced at £9.99 and 99p per track via the likes of iTunes, Spotify, Google and Amazon.
