A WELL-KNOWN York-based band are preparing for a homecoming gig in the city later in the year - as part of their national tour. Skylights, made up of four friends from the city, are set to embark on a UK national tour in August, playing gigs in Scotland, Ireland and England. Their final show will be held at Acomb Working Mens Club in York on December 16, which they ve described as their homecoming gig. Turnbull Smith, guitarist in the band, said: It was really important for us to have a show in the area we grew up in. Our first gigs were full of the people of Acomb - without them we wouldn t be lucky enough to be where we are now. This is a thank you to them.
The band, made up of four friends, have been praised by Leeds United manager, Marcelo Bielsa. The band sent Bielsa a number of their songs, in hope he would listen to them and give them some feedback. Bielsa, who took over the club in 2018, replied to the band in a letter. He said: I think the music you make is beautiful and it also has points in common with my profession, in which we try to combine movements, instead of sounds. But, ultimately, we need to have the harmony of a band for our production to be good. I admire your work and your talent.
