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 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).
