Swing Out Sister are an English sophisti-pop combo from Manchester that issued four 1985/86 singles on Mercury that formed the basis of the 1987 album It’s Better to Travel. In 1989, the group released Kaleidoscope World on Fontana, followed by a third studio album and a live disc on the label in 1992/93. A return to Mercury yielded three discs during the second half of the ’90s, while a deal with Liberty/Universal spawned the millennium titles Somewhere Deep in the Night (2001) and Where Our Love Grows (2004).
Swing Out Sister was originally a trio consisting of vocalist Corinne Drewery, ex-A Certain Ratio keyboardist Andy Connell, and former Magazine/Chameleons drummer Martin Jackson, the last of whom left between the first and second albums.
Members: Corinne Drewery (vocals), Andy Connell (keyboards), Martin Jackson (drums, 1985-91)
