The Lightyears are the sequel to your favourite movie.

Rich colours, bright lights, a crack of thunder, a flash of lightning, a match igniting. The thump in your chest from the bass speakers. Tales of daring and pain, told from the rooftops.

When the world is sleeping, we'll be singing.
______________________________

A few years ago, people from all around the world started inviting The Lightyears onto their shores. First came Europe, then Asia, then the United States. We sang to Ambassadors in Korea, rocked the beach in Thailand and woke up to breakfast in America.

We've played Beatles songs in the Cavern Club and lived to tell the tale, sung through a microphone held up by the branch of a tree at Glastonbury Festival and been banned from performing in Meribel for causing a riot of table-top dancing.

The Lightyears have swing. It's in our blood. And when it comes to making a noise about it, we just can't help ourselves.

Visit the GIGS page to find out where we are next - it might just be your town.

Imagine The Beatles with better hair.

ELO with style.

Supertramp without the tramp.

The Lightyears will make you happy. Fact.
