There have been two bands with this name. Halflight 2010-ongoing Halflight are a London-based alternative rock band. Halflight 2003-2009 (Paper Aeroplanes) Having supported acts such as Johnathan Rice, Jonah Matranga, Jim Noir, James Morrison and Sandi Thom, the Halflight sound has reached many different audiences. Halflight began at the end of 2003 after Sarah Howells' previous band Jylt, tragically came to an end. Bassist, singer and best friend, Nia George had been diagnosed with Leukaemia and eventually died of the illness at only 21. Despite the indescribable sense of loss and despair this brought, Sarah was compelled to continue writing and performing and out of this, Halflight was born. In 2009 they changed their name to Paper Aeroplanes, and in 2010 released the debut album The Day we ran into the sea. Halflight Discography: Subside E.P. Pick Me EP My Disguise EP
