Justin Light & The Midnighters - This Ain't Nothing but the Blues (2023)

A one-time member of Youth Of Britain alongside Daniele Davoli from Black Box, (supported The Prodigy and Annastasia, played Reading etc.) I have been in many varied bands over the years including the afore mentioned Youth Of Britain, The Sonic Jewels and The Atomic Workers and as such I have had the chance to record and perform in some fantastic places including Abbey Road, Reading Festival and Ronnie Scott’s. Blues has been very much present throughout my musical journey and came to the fore during the UK summer Covid -19 lockdown where I conceived, wrote, performed, recorded, produced and released my first solo album. As soon as public performance was allowed again, I was out playing small clubs in London, getting a solo electric guitar and vocal set together. This set was then developed further for various small festivals including Finchley and Edgware in London and also Landed in Mid-Wales by summer 2021. By November 2021 I was playing to full capacity venues at the Tenby Blues Festival and was invited to join The Daybreakers to storm through the end of their set on the Tenby main stage much to the delight of the audience.

2022 found bandmates Woodie (bass) and Marcello Vaz (drums) on the London blues scene and we've begun to hit the festivals and live venues as you can see from the footage above. A return to Tenby Blues Festival in November 2022 saw the band reach new musical heights and a confidence to stretch out our original songs and reach into the mojo of the audience.

2023 has barely begun and we are playing two legendary London venues, The Water Rats and The Ain't Nothing But... Blues.

My song writing employs traditional blues structures, catchy hooks, sassy lyrics and is accompanied by a stinging guitar tone... and now with added bass and drums which bring an undulating and ever evolving rhythm.
