'Swans In Flight' is a self titled 16 track album of specially written
songs using recording techniques which have sought to push the
boundaries of the acoustic guitar to new dimensions. Using exclusively
acoustic guitars against a backdrop of electric instruments, this
energetic and highly melodic album is the work of songwriting
partnership Hugo Montgomery-Swan and record producer Mark Tucker.
Recorded in studios both in the UK and the United States, the
album’s material draws upon influences as diverse as 1920's jazz
through to hard rock. A unique cross-section of world-class ‘guest’
musicians also stud the various 16 tracks and include such names as;
- James LoMenzo (Black Label Society/Megadeth)
- Martin Barre (Jethro Tull)
- Steve Stevens (Billy Idol)
- Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy/Whitesnake)
- Kip Winger (Alice Cooper/Winger)
- Phil Johnston (The Robert Plant Band)
- Doyle Dykes

- Robin Guy (Bruce Dickinson/Martin Gretch)
- TM Stevens (James Brown,The Pretenders)
