Considered to be one of the best live bands on the touring circuit, The Manfreds, featuring original Manfred Mann members Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness, are excited to be returning to some of their favourite, more intimate, venues in 2025.

One of the finest and most respected bands from the 1960s era, their numerous hits were not just ‘pop’ songs, many were R&B-based with an undercurrent of jazz – a very unusual but winning combination of playing style and substance. As a result, their records have a timeless quality and, some 60 years on, The Manfreds will be performing, many of their hits including Do Wah Diddy Diddy, one of the most popular and instantly recognisable songs of the 60s and still the biggest audience pleaser at their concerts. Plus a mix of Jazz and Blues covers and tracks from their solo albums.

Paul, with his unique harmonica sound, will be joined by Tom on guitar, Pete Riley on drums, Mike Gorman on keyboards, Marcus Cliffe on bass, and Simon Currie on saxophone/ flute.
