General info :
Steve Jolley (1950) and Tony Swain (20 January 1952) were a successful pop musician, songwriting and record production duo in the United Kingdom in the early to mid-1980s, producing some of the top artists and songs of the era.
They subsequently produced the True album for Spandau Ballet, the title track reaching Number one in the UK chart in 1983, and its follow-up Parade.
They also produced the Alf album for Alison Moyet on which the pair shared songwriting and musician credits for many of the tracks, and were nominated for a BRIT Award for the song, "Love Resurrection".
Tony and Steve also produced artiste/songwriter/producer Kevin Kitchen for China Records. The album "Split Personality" and single "Put my arms around you" were released in 1985 and the single achieved UK top 40 status.

In 1985 they released their own (instrumental) album, Backtrackin', from which "Soul Street" was released as single.

They subsequently worked with Diana Ross, Tom Robinson, Errol Brown and Wang Chung, as well as Louise Goffin (daughter of Carole King and Gerry Goffin). After splitting up Swain went on to produce Kim Wilde's million-selling Close album. Jolley set up a record label under his surname.

Tony Swain is now head A&R Consultant for Universal Records International.
