"First, let me say that Flame of the Sun is to me,
the Bad Finger song I've always wanted to
play on. Please accept that as a rather large
compliment, I really loved a lot of Bad Finger's
songs and I really love yours as well."
James Lomenzo – Megadeth.
"An album promising to push the boundaries of
the acoustic guitar…. ’Life’s Prize’ would slot
neatly onto a Jeremy Clarkson
drivetime compilation!"
NME
"All I can say is wow. What a terrific mix
and production on this album - GREAT JOB!!!
You are very talented and just have got to take
this out ‘on the road’."

Of excellent musicianship and faultless
production, Swans In Flight is a bold
concept and a step into the unknown. Who

the combined songwriting talents of Hugo
Montgomery-Swan and Mark Tucker…
