The Manfreds, featuring original Manfred Mann members Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness, will once again bring their highly acclaimed Maximum Rhythm and Blues show to The Central Theatre.
Their incredible repertoire of hits includes the iconic songs Do Wah Diddy Diddy, Pretty Flamingo, 5-4-3-2-1, The Mighty Quinn, plus many more, including those from Paul Jones’ solo success and Tom McGuinness from his hugely successful group, McGuinness Flint.
The band is delighted, and indeed privileged, to welcome their very special guest, Noel McCalla. Described by Blues & Soul magazine as ‘One of Britain’s best soul singers’, Noel’s impressive CV boast such credentials as lead singer with Manfred Mann’s Earth Band from 1991 until 2009, which brings hits such as Blinded By The Light and Davy’s On The Road Again onto the set list, plus his own unique blend of soul/jazz/blues inspired material.

The Manfreds

Manfred Mann is now considered, more than ever, one of the finest and most respected bands from the 1960s era. Their numerous hits 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 55 years on, The Manfreds, with original front man, Paul Jones, 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. The concert will also feature a mix of Jazz and Blues covers and tracks from their individual solo albums. Paul Jones, with his unique harmonica sound, will be joined by Mike Hugg on keyboards, Tom McGuinness on guitar, Rob Townsend on drums, Marcus Cliffe on bass and Simon Currie on saxophone/ flute.
