• Steve Swindells (born 21 November 1952) is an English singer-songwriter, keyboardist, party organiser, club promoter and journalist.
Swindells grew up in the Bath and Bristol area, dropping out of art college to play keyboards with the rock band Squidd. Relocating to London in 1973 and living in squats, he recorded his debut solo album, Messages for RCA in 1974. Produced by his manager Mark Edwards, Swindells felt the production quality to be poor, despite the presence of quality musicians. A follow up album Swindells' Swallow was recorded, mastered and test pressings manufactured, but the deal fell through with Swindells blaming his manager's behaviour. - en.wikipedia
