For the past weeks Peter “Young Igwe” Moyo has been in the media for the wrong reasons with latest being his failure to perform at Spillway Pub and Restaurant at Lake Chivero. Despite going on an international offensive with such a bad trail, Young Igwe said his recent Botswana tour did not only yield financial gains, but lessons from other established artistes from that country.“Sometimes these issues can just go beyond our control, but on our Botswana tour we met some music expects who gave us some tips that we think will help us,” he said.
“We are making serious changes on how we operate and we will seriously consider the accessibility of the venues as well as booking shows a month before performance dates,” he said.
Signs of a shaking ship began when members Willard “Willo” Loti, Evidence “Baba Gari” Tarabuka, Savious Karikodzi, Mathew Perego, drummers Guyson Sixpence and Prince Kapatsa formed their own band called The Bullets.
“We are a flexible band and we gave them conditions we will not disclose to the public. As of now they are still with us,” he said.
The Young Igwe has turned his life to God and is now a member of Prophet Walter Magaya’s PHD ministiries.
“Being at church does not mean things are hard for me and for the group, but that is a decision you make as an individual to have your heart follow God,” he said.
Tomorrow the Young Igwe will be staging a welcome back show after the Botswana tour at Club Werras in Glenview 1.
“To those who love Utakataka Express they should come for that show and see that the band is still intact. We are improving our stage acts and we will have everything for every Utakataka Express fan.”
