The Full Story of

Edison lighthouse

The Tony Macauley/Barry Mason composition 'Love Grows' provided the first breakthrough for session singer Tony Burrows and Edison Lighthouse in 1970, selling 4.5 million copies worldwide. While Tony Burrow's success continued with White Plains, Brotherhood of Man, and First Class, his original backing group toured briefly under the name Edison.

Vision

As of 2026, the fresh new line-up includes;

Clive Sheddon, Edison's lead vocalist and frontman.

Eddie Giacobbe, on Bass Guitar and vocals.

Mark Forton has led the way since 2020 as Edison's drummer. Mark is also an accomplished session player and worked on our 2022 recording, 'Love Grows in Rosemary's Disco' for Island Records.

Alan Warner, songwriter, most famously known as an original member of The Foundations, with songs such as 'Build Me Up Buttercup', joins Edison Lighthouse as the lead guitarist/ vocals and songwriter!

The fact that Edison Lighthouse is still in demand as a live act is a testimony to their ability to entertain and engage any audience.
