Local Artist of the Week: JUSTIN LIGHT & THE MIDNIGHTERS.
--
Justin Light grew up in Milford Haven. His infrequent attendances at school led his parents to buy him a guitar to keep him OUT of trouble. Lessons with local legend John Rodge followed and Justin was hooked on music. Stints with local bands as varied as Don Wade and The Wayfarers, Fungus Blancmange, and Maurice May's Nightcats followed.
Whilst jamming on the London Blues scene Justin met Woodie (bass) and Marcello (drums) and it wasn't long before they formed The Midnighters, a band which is about to release its debut album, This Ain't Nothing But The Blues. An album of 12 songs written by Justin that deals with contemporary issues as well as harking back to the traditional rock, shuffle, and swing of the Blues greats.
All songs featured are taken from this album. More information at juslight.com.
BB Skone's interview with Justin, broadcast on the local music show of Sunday 30th July, is available on Catch-Up.
