Once upon a time, in London...
Three singers - a rocker, a raver and a roller - came together to make sweet music, argue and break hearts.
Their journey took them to France, Belgium, South Korea, Thailand and the USA. They sang to millions of people on American radio, soundtracked national TV, rocked stadiums, won an INDY Award, played Glastonbury Festival and recorded with Hugh Padgham.
They called themselves The Lightyears, which seemed like a fine name for a band who believe that anything is possible.
The Lightyears' philosophy is simple - write honest words, sing big tunes and play every gig as if it's your last.
When the world is sleeping, they'll be singing...
