Lighthouse Family

Almost everyone has a memory tied to the smooth, sun-drenched sounds of the Lighthouse Family. Whether it was the soundtrack to childhood road trips or the background to lazy Sunday afternoons, their music has a quiet way of sticking with you. Vocalist Tunde Baiyewu and keyboardist Paul Tucker are heading back out on the road to celebrate the album that started it all, their multi-platinum debut Ocean Drive, alongside a deep bag of timeless favourites.

Formed in the early nineties, the duo carved out a unique space in British music. While Britpop was dominating the airwaves, they offered something soulful, gentle, and utterly sincere. Songs like 'Lifted', 'Ocean Drive', and the soaring anthem 'High' became staples of British radio for good reason. Tunde's rich, distinctive vocal delivery paired with Tucker's gift for hopeful, melody-driven songwriting created anthems that still manage to brighten the mood decades later.

Making plans for a proper Friday evening out can be tricky when you want something that appeals across generations, but this tour fits the bill effortlessly. It is genuine, feel-good music that works just as well for longtime fans who bought the cassette back in 1995 as it does for younger listeners hearing these classics for the first time. If you fancy an uplifting night out anchored by warm vocals and genuine heart, this is well worth marking on the calendar.
