One Night Only are a British Indie rock band from Helmsley, North Yorkshire formed in 2003[1].
History
One Night Only formed in summer 2003, consisting initially of Mark Hayton, Daniel Parkin, Sam Ford and school friend, 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.[2] Contrary to some reports, they did not start out as a Beatles cover band—they initially played songs by bands such as Blink-182 New Found Glory[3], and the Beatles as well as some of their own material.
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[4], which became a popular venue in their early days. In 2005, keyboardist Jack Sails joined the band[5]. The band have appeared on The Friday Night Project performing their third single "It's About Time". George Craig also appeared on Hollyoaks, performing an acoustic version of the same song.
In 2007, the band toured with Milburn and The Pigeon Detectives. Their first headline tour started in January 2008, ending in March. Their biggest headline tour to date took place in autumn 2008. They have also played at several festivals this year, including Isle of Wight, Oxegen and Glastonbury.
The band have done a subsequent tour, supported by northern irish rock trio General Fiasco and other bands, at such venues as the Lincoln Engine Shed and The Astoria.
Started A Fire
"You and Me" was their debut single, released in October 2007. It failed to break into the UK Top 40 however, peaking at #46. "Just For Tonight," the second single to be released from Started A Fire, achieved better success, reaching #9 in the UK Singles Chart. The single was released in January 2008, along with the album, Started a Fire, which was recorded at RAK Studios in St John's Wood, London from August to September 2007. "It's About Time" was the third single to be released on the April 28, 2008. It failed to reach the success of "Just For Tonight", peaking at #37 in the chart. On the July 7, 2008, a fourth single, a re-release of You And Me, was released, charting at #1 for 5 weeks in the indie charts.
In August 2008 "You and Me" was chosen by London 2012 Olympic Committee as the song for their ["celebration" viral film].
The band are currently working on their second album, due to be released in the summer of 2009. It could possibly include new songs such as; Intention Confidental, Tonight and Daydream which were performed on their tour in october.
George Craig is currently modeling for the fashion label Burberry.
