[edit] History

The band formed after meeting at school in Cranleigh.[2]

Their first single "Stay the Night" began gaining national radio airplay in January 2007, and then on 9 February 2007, Ghosts made their first television appearance on The Friday Night Project.[2]

On 22 February 2007, the members of Ghosts and five of their roadies were arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage after a hotel in York found their tour manager's room flooded from a broken toilet.[3] They were all subsequently released without charge.
