    Born in October 2009, The Phantom Light are Anthony Jones (vox, synths), Jason Jones (guitars), Matty James (drums, percussion. .... The band name comes from a 1935 film called The Phantom Light following the disappearance of two lighthouse keepers stationed on the desolate coast of Wales. .... After spending the first few months collaborating ideas over the internet the band knocked up a 2 track demo which can be heard here. .... At the end of February the band, out of 1600 entrants, made the final 12 of the Emerging Talent Contest for a possible place at 2010's 40th Anniversary Glastonbury Festival. The bands were whittled down from 50 - 12 by Emily Eavis, Nick Dewey (who books Pyramid and Park stages among others), Huw Stephens (Radio 1), Paul Rees (Q editor) and Dave Henderson (Queen's Head Stage). This event, was the bands first ever gig, and it took place on 27th March 2010 infront of judges, Michael Eavis (Glastonbury owner), Emily Eavis (Glastonbury co-owner), Phillippa Aylott (Radio 1 producer), Steve Symons (West Holt programmer for Glastonbury), Angus Baskerville (13 Artists booking agent), Paul Charles (Asgard booking agency), Nick Dewey (Programmer for Glastonbury & MBL Music Management) and Malcolm Haynes (Dance Village Programmer for Glastonbury). ....

    Synthesizers, Reverb, delay, epic beats, echo's in cathedrals, the cottage
  • Sounds Like

    "Ethereal, slow-paced dream pop from a Swansea trio whose floating synth and echoey guitars with some other worldly vocals fall between vintage '50s Phil Spector wall of sound, reverb-drenched shoegazing and emotive Mary Chain at their most haunting." - Glastonbury Festival 2010 (Emerging Talent Contest organisers, February 2010) .... .... "Welshmen The Phantom Lights create some irresistibly soothing outer-space melodies and pepper them with grains of trip-hoppy electronica. This mixed with some seriously old-school sounds - strings, keys, woodwinds... and voices that float - results in... beautifully enhanced gazer-fare that stays true to its roots while simultaneously appearing unmistakably modern. Nothing you'll regret listening to." - Vesper (Ambient Airwaves, March 2010) .... .... "The Phantom Light create a rich, symphonic sound that provides a perfect foundation for Anthony Jones' captivating, emotional vocals" - Ulrich Schnauss (April 2010)

    WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE DIES
    Dear friend
    The most devastating thing to happen to anyone is the loss of a loved one especially a child. All kinds of emotions follow such as a deep sense of loss, anger, depression etc. The question is “Where are they now” ?

    Depending on your culture or belief they could be in heaven or hell, back to Mother Nature, in Nirvana, reincarnated to another life form, or awaiting a resurrection. etc

    Which if any, of these options is it possible to prove beyond doubt?

    The very best person to ask is none other than Jesus Christ himself. Why Jesus ?

    Because he died and came back to life

    That he died a sacrificial death, was dead for parts of three days, and resurrected is well testified by the Gospel writers and secular historians,

    The longsuffering Job once asked “ If an able bodied man dies, can he live again”? He goes on to say “ all the days of my compulsory service I shall wait until my relief comes [Job 14:14} He knew that death [compulsory service] was inevitable but that one day relief would come for him. According to Job life after death was possible

    Everyone losing a loved one should read the Gospel of John chapter 11. Here you will read the wonderful account of Lazarus.. death and resurrection.

    Lazarus was taken ill. Jesus tells his disciples: Lazarus our friend has gone to rest but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep. What would you have said to that ?. They replied “ Lord if he has gone to rest he will get well”

    Jesus then said “Lazarus has died”! What is that telling you?

    That Jesus viewed Lazarus as merely asleep though dead

    When Jesus arrives in Bethany he is met by Martha who says “ Lord if you had been here my brother would not have died. Jesus replied “Your brother WILL rise. She responded “ I know he WILL rise in the resurrection on the last day !

    WILL RISE is future tense so where was Lazarus? For four days now he had been in the tomb. His body still bound with wrappings

    When Jesus said the word Lazarus came out alive and in good health

    Here is further proof of the resurrection

    All in tombs to be raised John 5:28.29
    Resurrection of Jesus a guarantee 1 Corinthians 15:20-22 Acts 17:31
    Sinners against Spirit will not rise Matthew 12:31,32
    Those showing faith assured of it John 11:25

    Imagine welcoming back your loved ones, your boundless joy embracing them

    It isn..t just a dream. For Martha and Mary it was a dream come true !!! Would you like to know more? Please let me know  Kindest regards John  Ps You may obtain a Brochure from Jehovah`s Witnesses entitled
    WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE DIES
    It contains the following headings
    It can`t be true
    Is it normal to feel  this way?
    How can I live with my grief?
