NEW ALBUM "CLOSED FOR THE WINTER" OUT VERY SOON!
The Harbour Lights began life in early 2005 acting as house band for a regular event called Soulcafe at St Pauls Church, Derby. The band was initially based around the skills of songwriters Phil Baggaley and Ian Blythe and the wonderful vocal talent of Bethan Court. The sound of the band has evolved from its acoustic roots with the introduction of Steve Canner on upright and electric bass, Rob Bullock on acoustic and electric guitars and Chris Pearson on drums and percussion, into a wonderful genre defying blend incorporating elements of folk, country and rock. The bands debut album "Leaving Safe Anchorage" was recorded in early 2006 and released in the summer of 2006. At the begining of 2007 they were joined by percussionist Stuart Wood."The charm of English acoustic music shines through this six piece group with stunning vocals from Bethan Court" - Mick Peat Folkwaves, BBC in the Midlands"Bethan Court's striking vocals are incredibly haunting....the songwriting thoughtful and considered....almost spiritual....the lights are shining on" - Emma Shaw, Derby Evening Telegraph"The Harbour Lights debut on a high, fronted by the quite magical voice of Bethan Court....subtle....considered....intelligent....intimate....
the music comes beautifully together....if they are 'live' in your area, you would do well to travel with them. Second best would be to wear out the CD" - Phil Thompson - Crossrhythms
As well as having a busy live schedule the band are also currently recording their second album which they anticipate having ready for release in May 2007.
