One Night Only formed in summer 2003, consisting initially of Mark Hayton, Daniel Parkin, Sam Ford and Kai Smith. The band did not have a vocalist until George Craig, a friend of Ford's brother, joined in a practice. He was asked to be the vocalist, but insisted on playing guitar as well. Smith then left the band.
The name, One Night Only, came about when asked to play a gig. They did not have a name at the time and so came up with One Night Only, intending the title to, literally, last for only one night, however the name stuck to this day. They performed their first gig on 12 December 2003 in Kirkbymoorside Memorial Hall, which became a popular venue in their early days. In 2005, keyboardist Jack Sails joined the band and in 2010 James Craig (George's brother), became the new drummer of the band as Sam Ford left. Since then they have several tours and have been to various festivals. I saw them live in October last year.
One Night Only are my favourite band and they tie in with the genre of my music magazine Indie. I can take inspiration from them as the are a current band and part of my magazine will be focusing on current artists/bands.
