Swamp Children emerged from Manchester's vibrant music scene in 1980, blending avant-funk with Latin, bossa nova, and jazz influences. The ensemble featured Ann Quigley (vocals), Tony Quigley (saxophone and bass), John Kirkham (guitar), Ceri Evans (keyboards and bass), Cliff Saffer (saxophone), and Martin Moscrop (drums). Their 1982 album, *So Hot*, released on Factory Benelux, showcased their eclectic style and received critical acclaim, including a five-star rating in the *Virgin Rock Yearbook 1983*. In 1983, they transitioned into Kalima, continuing their musical evolution. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalima_%28band%29?utm_source=openai))
