in the sky
Formed in London, 1980, as a trio: guitarist and vocalist Carl McIntosh, vocalist Jane Eugene and keyboardist Steve Nichol. The latter two left the group in 1989, due to musical differences. McIntosh continued with new vocalists Linda Carriere and Sunay Suleyman for a few years. Loose Ends developed a high class synth soul/r&b/urban contemporary style, perfected by producer Nick Martinelli. They released five albums. Among their hits are "Hangin' On A String (Contemplating)", "Magic Touch" (1985), "Slow Down" (1986), "Watching You" (1988) and "Don't Be A Fool" (1990). Loose Ends has been reactived by McIntosh in recent years, with Carriere in the line-up. The group is recording new material, performing and preparing a US tour. Jane Eugene also tours as "Loose Ends geaturing Jane Eugene".

There are at least three artists called Loose Ends. 1. Loose Ends (also known as Loose End) are a British R&B band that achieved several hit records throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s. The trio was formed in London in 1980, initially comprising vocalist and guitarist Carl McIntosh, vocalist Jane Eugene, and keyboard player and vocalist Steve Nichol. Despite enjoying success throughout the 1980s, both Nichol and Eugene left the group in 1989 due to personal differences. McIntosh continues to perform and write new songs under the name Loose Ends with the 1990 line-up of Linda Carriere and Sunay Suleyman. In 2021, Loose Ends signed a new record deal with the British hip hop label Digital Jukebox Records to release new singles and albums. Studio albums A Little Spice (1984) So Where Are You? (1985) Zagora (1986) The Real Chuckeeboo (1988) Look How Long (1990) 2. Formed in Bexley Heath, Kent, United Kingdom, in late 1963, Loose Ends were fronted by singer Alan Marshall. By the time they secured a semi-residency at the Mayfair club, The Scotch of St. James, in February 1966, the group had signed to Decca. Their debut single, released in July 1966 ('Send The People Away' b/w 'I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore'), was followed by their soulful rendition of George Harrison's 'Taxman', which was released on 5 August 1966—the same day as The Beatles' version appeared on their "Revolver" LP. The band disbanded in the autumn of 1966. Marshall subsequently formed a new version of Loose Ends, with the help of a Croydon band called The Subjects, while keyboardist Roy Davies and bassist Dave Collman formed a rival line-up, almost inevitably called New Loose Ends. 3. Loose Ends was a hardcore punk band from central New Jersey, United States, influenced by the early to mid-1980s scene. Their debut EP, Cut Loose, was released in 2011.
