BlackLight is a Five-member British rock band
founded in
April
2006.
History
Blacklight was organized for a
battle-of-the-bands competition in
Coalville,
England. Original members included James Morrell, Andy Hughes,
Brendan Clarke and Jeff Lindsey, but after many disagreements,
Brendan Clarke left, followed shortly thereafter by Jeff Lindsey,
who left due to the fact that his school hours were too late to fit
into the practice times that the rest of the band wanted. Morrell
and Hughes continued the band, hiring Luke Satchwell, a drummer
from Morrell's previous band, and William Alexander, a bassist.
After failing to get the new lineup ready in time for the demo disk
deadline, the band was put on the waiting list for the concert. So
Andy and James decided to hire manager Thom Hodkinson to arrange
concerts for the future.
During the week of the 19th of June 06,
William Alexander was dropped as bassist, and new hopeful bassist
Stuart Boland. Also, in the following week, Thom Hodkinson, former
part-time manager, decided to take the slot of backup vocals,
adding to the harmony of Andy Hughes' distinct voice. With new
lineup, the band strives onwards to make their music heard to
millions of people living in the world.
Also, Thom thinks he might
get a lot of girls this way. He is very much
mistaken.

Hodkinson born on 26th of March 1990, has had a history of mental
health troubles and has only recently started to find slavations by
writing lyrics, to which others, mainly Blacklight, add music and
make hits. His lyrics are created mainly by finding a good enough
sounding phrase and working around it
