From the streets of Hollyoaks, to the OsFest stage...

"AREN'T you the band from Hollyoaks?" asks a fan as I'm interviewing groove/pop band Daytona Lights.
The five London lads - Matt, Danny, Laurence, Louis and Sam - could be any other group enjoying the VIP area at OsFest, but there short stint on the popular soap has seen the propelled to stardom.
"We were asked us to come on and play ourselves in the show," explains Louis, but we were a fully functioning band before, during and after."
Things have certainly been busy for the group in recent months, especially after launching their debut album, 'This Modern Landscape' at the end of last year after forming two years ago.
"We are looking to write and record new material in the next few months," continues Danny, "but at the moment we're busy performing at gigs and festivals."
OsFest is their first outdoor festival of the Summer - sorry about the typical British weather lads - but the wet isn't putting them off: "We're hoping it will pick up," says Matt, "We want to try and get people to forget about the rain."
"We're sure it's going to be brilliant," continues Danny, "and it's nice to be sharing the stage with some big names."

Daytona Lights perform later this evening. Follow them on Twitter @DaytonaLights and via Facebook www.facebook.com/DaytonaLights
