Loose Ends biography

British R&B trio, Loose Ends, became one of the biggest acts in the urban dance scene, finding a string of hits throughout the 1980s, having formed at the start of the decade in London, UK.

Loose Ends is a group which has existed since the early 80's. A successful British R&B band formed in 1980, signed to Virgin Records in 1981. Loose Ends had several urban contemporary hits with tracks such as 'Hanging on a string' reaching no.1 in the U.S charts and no.13 in the U.K charts, also ìSlow Downî reaching no.27 in the U.K charts and no.1 in the U.S charts. Loose Ends are the first British R&B band to have a no.1 gold selling Album in the U.S and going on to sell millions. The negative narrative that the group had broken up is untrue as they continued to make hits from 1988 onwards. Jane Eugene and Steve Nichol left the group so Carl McIntosh went on to produce the 'Look How Long' album released in 1990, with the hit single 'Don't be a fool' reaching no.13 in the U.K charts and no.10 in the U.S charts.

The last album by Loose Ends was called 'Look How Long' which was produced and created by Carl McIntosh which included UK's top vocalists Laurne· Wilkerson, Linda Carriere, Christine Levin, Sunay Suleyman. Carl McIntosh a musician, singer, songwriter & producer can also be heard on songs by Caron Wheeler, Ruth Joy, 5-Star, Phylis Hyman, Díangello, Angie Stone, Leon Ware to name a few.

There term 'experience' is exactly what it says, an experience. Carl's work can be heard throughout the early releases pre, 1980 right up to now. Loose Ends, now signed to the Digital Jukebox Records, Sony Music Distribution are currently in the studio writing new songs for the new singles and album to follow with his band members Linda Carriere, Christine Levin. With We #love you...stay tuned...

Live reviews

Loose Ends are a British R&B group that possess a sound that sounds as though it has transcended across many years. Fronted by the soulful vocals of Carl McIntosh and vocalist Jane Eugene, they carry these songs with much prowess and conviction throughout the whole set. When they perform, it is evident that they have had a huge career up until this point. One of the key features of this band that I have to draw attention to is the guitar work of McIntosh. He is so under rated with what he plays which is a slew of riffs on his Fender Stratocaster in such a new jack swing kind of style.
“Hanging on a String” has this packed out gathering dancing from the start to finish, putting them in the right frame of mind for the rest of the set with it’s infectious chorus and great musicality, taking this audience on a journey through many mediums of soul and R&B this evening.
