Paul ‘Tubbs’ Williams passed away on the 10th January 2007. A tribute to “Tubbs” can be found on the LOTW myspace site, which shows rare video footage of the “Great British Bass Man” at his best. This is rare footage and has never before been released by Light of the World. This footage is a mark of respect on behalf of all the fans who saw “Tubbs” back in the day, and who remember what an inspiration he really was.

Café

2006
Light of the World's performance at London’s Jazz Café on the 18th August was sold out. The show was given a massive welcome introduction by Chris Hill. The audience was fantastic with their ecstatic cheering and singing along to many of the bands favourite tracks, not to mention new material, which was really well received. Autograph hunters were well catered for by the band, as the sales of their new CD “Addicted To Funk” proved to be a hot seller. LOTW would like to thank the EMI gang for taking part, all their other VIP guests and all the staff at the Jazz Café.
