Roger Quigley was born in Salford and chose to study fine art at the University of Sunderland.[1]
He released multiple recordings, including two LPs — 1969 Till God Knows When, and Quigley's Point. The latter effort was recorded under the 'At Swim Two Birds' moniker, a name was inspired by At Swim-Two-Birds, a classic tome by the Irish novelist, Flann O'Brien.
