Artist Bio
|
Gary Hughes established himself as one of England's premiere singer songwriters. He managed to be involved in some mighty melodic and hard rock releases including, the first three Bob Catley solo albums (both as a producer and songwriter), Hugo's solo debut (as a producer) and not to mention his albums with the band Ten plus three solo albums and one rock opera in 2 chapters!
His new solo release entitled "Veritas", the Latin word for "Truth", took shape in the Arena studios in Lancashire, UK and according to Hughes, "the songs on this album are among the strongest I have ever written in my lifetime".
"Veritas" truly feels like the natural successor to "Precious Ones", Gary Hughes' last solo output dated 1998. This time around Gary used a different array of players to enhance the diversity of the album. "I have gone for a variety of music styles with regard to musicians", explains Gary, "drummer Dave Ingledew and bass player Rick Stewart are currently members of British Dark Metal band Devil To Pay, Jason Robinson is the drummer with Alternative Metal band Absent Minds, whilst Simon Brayshaw is the bass player with British Blues outfit Nightshift. From the Ten ranks, Chris Francis contributes with leadwork once again and John Halliwell has taken acoustic guitar duties as usual". Gary is playing keyboards and caring for all the orchestrations.
"Given the long awaited nature this album and the anticipation already beginning I have been working really hard to make this album the best I possibly can" concludes Gary.
The stunning final result is guaranteed to cement the reputation of Gary Hughes as a songwriter and producer and shows the class and the immense quality of British hard rock school, heir of the tradition of such giants as Whitesnake, Rainbow, UFO and Thin Lizzy!
