Laurie Wright is nothing less than a force of nature possessing a raw and genuine talent that many can only dream of. Having graced the stages of the famous Glastonbury Festival aged just a mere 16, you can start to gauge the level of talent that he possesses.  

Life hasn’t always been easy for Laurie though, with opportunities presented to him at such a young age  they also brought with them a downside. Things compounded and he found himself regularly facing homelessness between the ages of 19-28. 

While the global pandemic and various lockdowns saw many struggling, it was during this time that Laurie really turned his life around once and for all. He cleaned up his act, and began to seriously focus once more on his music. Starting off with him winning The Libertines ‘Talented Fans’ Competition and being called the ‘next big thing’ by Carl Barat. Liam Gallagher also proclaimed himself  a  fan by  tweeting ‘I’ve heard him, I like him.’ 

Other accomplishments for Laurie Wright also include having recorded music at the world famous Abbey Road Studios, playing festivals such as Glastonbury, The Isle Of Wight,  Lakefest and Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg as well as touring and supporting the likes of The Skinners Brothers and The Cribs and more recently Laurie and his band played a sold out gig at the world famous Koko in London supporting the legendary Rifles band. The band were so impressed by Laurie that they ended up inviting him on stage to perform with them as part of their set!  Not too shabby for a lad who by day can be seen busking the streets in London huh!

With several releases under his belt already including the single releases of 2022 ‘West End Lover’  and ‘The Rockstar and The Fan’  (which received its worldwide exclusive first spin on Radio X by John Kennedy on his X-Posure show where he hailed the track and band as “very exciting”) This was followed up in early 2023 by the highly charged stadium sized banger of  ‘Rock n Roll Ain’t Dead While We’re Living’ and ‘Butter Side Up Boy’, which was showcased by the world renowned Rodney Bingemheimer on his Sirius XM radio show in America. 

Following his electrifying set at this year’s Isle of Wight Festival Laurie sprung a surprise release on fans  of ‘Wings of Gold and Platinum’ which together with the accompanying music video was released on Friday 23rd June 2023. The video was filmed during his KOKO performance in London with RIFLES and The Skinner Brothers. 

The album features 3 previously released tracks of ‘Butter Side Up Boy’, ‘West End Lover’ and ‘Wings of Platinum and Gold’ as well as 7 previously unreleased tracks. Full track listing can be found below. 

Upcoming gig for Laurie sees him playing his biggest headliner gig to date on the 21st October at Underworld in Camden.
