About White Light

We are a four-piece band with many years of musical experience together with a reputation for reliability, professionalism and a live show that is both stunning and unforgettable.

Over the past few years the band have played many different types of function including formal "dinner / dance" events, weddings, birthday parties as well as performing at pubs and clubs. The band arrive at the designated venue promptly complete with their own 4k PA and lighting rig prepared for anything!

White Light play songs covering five decades of hits.

White Light 2 Minute Demo American Idiot

White Light comprises of Drums, Bass, Guitar and Vocals (with occasional keyboards, recorder, kazoo, harmonica etc etc.).

The members of the band have a vast amount of musical experience between them, the majority of this as live performers. The four members of the band have been playing together for well over 25 years. Peter C. Swash (Vocal) and Paul Bonham (Drums) have been in various bands since their youth filled days at school. These include The Exclusives, The Voices (where they secured a record deal with Phonogram, Records) and Karen D'Ache. It was whilst in Karen D’Ache that Steve Hayes (Guitar) and Steve Awcock (Bass) joined Peter and Paul. This was a collaboration that was to span a decade with the band gaining a notable following both in this country and abroad, taking on extensive touring throughout the UK and amassing a total of more than 2000 gigs between them, including shows at major venues in London such as The Electric Ballroom, The Mean Fiddler and The Astoria to mention a few. They also went on various tours to Europe throughout their time together.

They regrouped in 2006 after nearly ten years apart. Paul and Steve Hayes played in another local band for that time called Tailspin, and achieved notable acclaim. Peter had been pursuing his own songwriting projects and produced a successful run of jingles for local radio. Steve Awcock however thought that he had officially retired, but it only took a second to consider the request of getting back together and starting a covers band.

This brings us to the present day and, since 2006, White Light. The band play a wide selection of crowd pleasing, generation spanning, familiar classics, whilst also performing equally popular songs that aren't always covered by other bands. See the repertoire listing for full details!

Winter 2009/10 - We're constantly considering new (and old) tracks to cover so if you'd like to hear us interpret one of your favourites let us know.
Latest additions to the set include Sex On Fire, Ca Plane Pour Moi and Jumpin' Jack Flash.

Winter 2009/10 - We're now taking bookings for 2010 so if you're thinking of throwing a party, give us a call or send us an email.
Winter 2009/10 - If you've seen the band and would like to comment or submit a live review it'd be great to publish your thoughts on our web site.
03/01/08 - There is a Health threat alert (no, not really!) being announced at selected appearances from the band White Light
People are being warned to check before going to the one of their gigs to see if they will need to wear protective sunglasses or not. The controversy surround the drummers (Paul "Broken Glass" Bonham) new drum kit. It was debuted at their New Years Eve gig at the Snowdrop pub in Lindfield (may we take this opportunity to thank everyone that came and thank you for making it a great night) and there were several near misses involving late flights into Gatwick who mistakenly took the glare off the said drum kit as the landing lights for the runway. The band have stated that they take no legal responsibility for anyone requiring to have their retina reattached after staring at Paul's kit (oops Drum Kit) for too long.

SoundARC Promotions: Read blog before messaging us	Nov 29 2009 12:27 AM As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years. This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest! It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember! http://is-is.facebook.com/event.php?eid=128319530677&index=1
