And So I Watch You From Afar Guitarist Quits

by | Sep 23, 2011

And So I Watch You From Afar guitarist Tony Wright has left the band.

“It is with a heavy heart and leaden feet I announce my decision to leave And So I Watch You From Afar,” Wright commented. “The past few years have been an unbelievable ride and I’ll always remember them with rose tinted spectacles as the incredible times, in the full thrust of reality, they were. Johnny, Rory and Chris as well as the amazing crew that we had around us will continue on the path we forged together, however the time has come for one reason and many others for me to take a different, less trodden road but one with the same ultimate destination, fulfilment. I wish them all the success in the world and I know they will receive it as they are amongst the most driven, talented people I’ve had the fortune to work, travel, create, learn and grow with.”

Niall Kennedy (ex-Panama Kings) will join the band for their upcoming touring plans.
