John (vocals/guitar) and Heather (bass/vocals) met a couple of times by the "musicians wanted" notices in Norwich music shops, both looking for a band, so decided to form their own. Heather had previously worked with Pete (vocals/drums), he was head-hunted, Bright Spark was formed and we've now been together for over three years and approaching 200 bookings.
We are primarily a live working band and our gigs include private, corporate and public functions, concerts, festivals, dances of all types from ballroom to rock'n'roll, clubs and restaurants, hotels and theatres - so we get plenty of opportunity to play a good range of styles and genres.
Our own songs reflect this, as they vary a great deal from one other - OK, most bands will say that, but ours REALLY do. Our debut album is now out, with twelve original tracks and a glossy full-colour 12-page booklet of artwork, lyrics and info, all for £8.99. You can read the press review by clicking on 'Pics' under our Spark Guitar picture. We are excited about the album and a great deal of work - and fun - has gone into it. It is available now from Tej General Store, Sprowston Road (corner of Churchill Road), Norwich, from us on gigs, and also from our online shop, where you can hear clips of all the tracks. Many thanks to Lefty for hosting this, for brilliant contributions to the artwork, for the great presentation video and, with Grey Panda, being very loyal friends to Bright Spark.
We have another album available only on gigs, but this one's not for sale - at any price! It's mostly outtakes, previews and alternative versions, 27 tracks in total. And all you have to do to get yours ~FREE~ is attend ten gigs and collect ten different-dated flyers from us, available at all our gigs whether public or private.
We still have some unfilled dates, so if you are having any type of celebration, just get in touch and we'll send you more info, no obligation. Only our public dates are listed here on MySpace; for a full availability list see our Events page on Travelling Records. We get lots of repeat bookings and have some lovely testimonials from happy clients. Our live playlist currently includes about 150 well known songs and instrumentals, mostly from the 1950s-60s, plus about an hour's worth of originals, and we are always learning - and writing - more. We are careful to suit our playlist, presentation and sound level to each audience, venue and occasion. Given a little notice, we can probably even learn your favourite song to play for you on your special night!
