Hipsway were a Scottish pop/rock band whose style has been described as 'white soul/ funk'. The band were formed in Glasgow in 1984 by ex-Altered Images guitarist Johnny McElhone on bass, and featuring Grahame Skinner (vocals), Pim Jones (guitar) and Harry Travers (drums). They were quickly signed up by Mercury Records and by 1985 had released their first album Hipsway. The album was a moderate success in the UK; while the single The Honeythief made number 17 in the British charts, and also reached the Top 20 in the US.
