[edit] History

One Night Only formed in summer 2003, consisting initially of Hayton, Parkin, Ford and school friend, Kai Smith. The band did not have a vocalist until 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 and New Found Glory^[3], 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 Alan Carr's and Justin-Lee Collins' show, 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 will take place in autumn 2008.
