Hello Hullo! Well, the nights are drawing in and Christmas is just under a month away! And that means it is almost time for the 2009 INLIGHT Advent Calendar!

As a thank you for all your support this year, Charlie, Mike, Pete and Johnny will be uploading a new video to inlightband.com every single day from December 1 until Christmas Eve. The videos will be full of festive cheer and early Christmas presents, free ringtones and giveaway EPs, a sneak peek inside the band's sessions in the recording studio, interviews with each band member and much more!

There will be special surprises for members of the mailing list so if you haven't signed up yet, make sure you do so sharpish!

Until December 1st,

Charlie, Mike, Pete & Johnny

Well, you've probably all noticed a few changes to the MySpace and Twitter and so on. As if by magic strange, round shapes have started popping up at the back of our pages. At first we were convinced they were a punishment from on high for a lack of recent blogs and mailers (although Johnny insisted they were the world's first virtual crop circles), but a little more research has revealed that they are all part of our web redesign; tomorrow evening our brand new website will be up and running at http://www.inlightband.com. IN the meantime, if you don't already follow us on Twitter, then make sure you remedy that sharpish, and -- as Stephen Hawking once said to a telescope -- watch this space..

Hugest apologies to all those waiting with baited breath for our new website. Our designer has had swine flu, of all things, so the final polish is just not quite there yet. 

Hi everyone,

First, A big thank you to everyone who came out to all our shows earlier in the summer. Cornbury was a particular highlight, and it was great to see so many new faces in the crowd.

Hey all,

Just a quick one to remind you we're playing the Charlbury Riverside Festival TOMORROW! (That's Saturday 20th for anyone reading this in the morning..)  We'll be on the main stage at around 6pm. And best of all, it's free! Come down, bring your friends, and hopefully the weather will be kind to us for once :)

More details can be found here:   Riverside Festival

We were on the BBC yesterday! A big thank you to Tom Robinson who played Icarus on his 6music show last night.  You can listen again by going HERE and clicking 'listening again' to Sunday's show before 21st June.

In other news, we're playing the O2 Academy Oxford again tonight, supporting Absent Elk (who have just finisihed a tour with Girls Aloud, no less)  If you need to clear away those monday morning/afternoon blues, there's no better way than coming to see a night of great music. And if you're too hot in the sun, the O2 IS air-conditioned...
 Tickets are £5 and the doors open at 7.

See you there!
Inlight

It's Tuesday, and this means it's the Inlight headline charity fundraising show at The Cellar, here in Oxford. Joining us will be Beck Lanehart and Quadrophobe, both of which were also JackFM Next Big Thing finalists last month. There will be DJs until late, so if you're looking for an all-round night out, then look no further! And if you're not, then come see us anyway! Tickets are £6 on the door, and are still available for £5 online here. This is a hugely important and good cause, so if you're 50/50 then make sure you get down. Bring friends, Romans, countrymen.. lend us your ears.. Doors open 8pm!

The Cellar is at Frewin Court in the centre of town. Here is a map.
