What happened to them - loved them back then, they had uplifting songs for the summer.

They split up in 2002. Sadly like Toploader they never managed to get past the fact their first single became a radio anthem

Their song (I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be) Free was our school graduation song (its common in Irish secondary schools to have a special 'graduation' song for the graduating class). Were Lighthouse Family successful in the charts? Never heard much of them apart from that one song.

As far as I know their most successful songs in the UK were Lifted from 1996 and High from 1998. High made the top 40 best-sellers of the year. During the General Election campaign in 2001 the Labour party kept plugging Lifted!

Why so much hatred?!

I absolutely love 'High' ... just listened to it again, brought back so many happy memories of school times. Made me feel quite nostalgic actually!

Just so middle of the road and casual I hate vengaboys and the cartoonsdont get me wrong, but the lighthouse family is insidious blandness, like a creeping disease of niceness.

Im sure they are nice blokes and that and my hatred is some twisted projection of myself but I still hate them,lol.

to be fair my running hatred of them is fuelled by the fact my friends are well aware of my irrational hate and insist o putting a quids worth of lighthouse family on everytime they see a jukebox.

...they're not Westlife after all!

I was never a huge fan but Lighthouse Family were harmless. Raincloud was always a great song, and this mix of their final single Happy (summer 2002) is awesome!
