Midnight Flyer was a British hard-rock/soul band that released a self-titled album on Swan Song in 1981. Scottish vocalist Maggie Bell hailed from rustic/soul-rockers Stone the Crows, which recorded four albums between 1970 and 1972. She also cut two solo albums in 1974/75 and sang backup on the Rod Stewart album Every Picture Tells a Story. Keyboardist Chris Parren cut an album apiece with the pop-psych band Forever Amber and the space-funk combo Locust; he also appeared on albums by Hudson-Ford, Ray Russell, and Andy MacKay.
Members: Maggie Bell (vocals), Dave Dowle (drums), Anthony Glynne (guitar), Tony Stevens (bass), John Cook (keyboards, 1980), Chris Parren (keyboards, 1980-81)
