Bright Spark are two guys and a girl centred on Norwich, England, playing and singing their own brand of retro Brit Pop, softcore rock, and a wide range of othe
We are primarily a working live band and one of the busiest in the area. We enjoy every sort of gig, from private functions in swish hotels to social clubs and from sweaty rock venues to ballroom dances. Our original material reflects this and we write songs and instrumentals that are also very varied in style. All three of us play and sing and we are noted for our harmony work and our instrumental ability. We are an unusual combination - the excitement of being a new and inventive band, with the sure touch that comes only from many years of experience.

Story behind the song
I had just finished giving a guitar lesson (though I'm the bassist in Bright Spark), my student and I were just chatting about nothing in particular, and I found myself just playing this tune in a sort of bar-chord-and-clawhammer style, and my student was casually playing along even though the chords were not ones he'd yet learnt! I said "Hey, this sounds like a sort of Dozy River song". When I got home the words and the music for the middle-8 just wrote themselves. I thought it must be something I'd heard before but nobody else seems to have, so it must be mine! When John said he was going to play slide guitar on it (in fact he plays two), I couldn't imagine it, but it gets that rivery feel perfectly, doesn't it?
Lyrics
DOZY RIVER When I’m worn and weighed with woe, there’s a place I always go – dozy dozy river, soothing comfort giver, any time my thoughts are low. Dreaming in the sun I’ll stay. The river’s cool and green today. Lying by the water... Look! That angler’s caught a bream – or has she? No, it’s got away! Dozy dozy river, by my feet you slither – little ripples trip and play. I can feel your bubbles taking all my troubles, floating all my blues away... Never may your course run dry! Though we mortals live and die, dozy dozy river, endlessly forever, dozy river flow on by.
