Key members of the 1960’s Manfred Mann line-up re-formed as The Manfreds in 1991 following what turned out to be a very successful and enjoyable reunion for Tom McGuinness’ 50th birthday celebration.
Original Manfred Mann members Paul Jones, Mike Hugg and Tom McGuinness , and former member Mike d’Abo, were joined by Rob Townsend, formerly of Family, on drums, Marcus Cliffe on bass and Simon Currie on saxophone & flute, as the exciting new line-up of The Manfreds.
Nowadays, Mike d’Abo will only appear on a select few Manfreds dates and, following the retirement from touring of Mike Hugg and also Rob Townsend being unfortunately sidelined, the current line up featuring Paul Jones, Tom McGuinness, Marcus Cliffe, Simon Currie, Pete Riley and Mike Gorman are becoming well known for their show of ‘Hits, Jazz & Blues’. A wonderful mix of Manfred Mann hits along with some solo material from all involved and a few surprises along the way too!
The highly acclaimed ‘Maximum Rhythm ‘n’ Blues’ Tour was a huge success with Mike d’Abo sharing the lead with Paul Jones. We sincerely hope that this will not be the last opportunity to see BOTH Manfred Mann lead singers on stage together.....watch this space!
