Paul Jones brings his legendary band The Manfreds back to the Brindley Theatre, Runcorn on Saturday 25 March.
The ’60s group Manfred Mann is now considered, more than ever, one of the finest and most respected bands from that era. Their numerous hits were R&B based with an undercurrent of jazz – a very unusual but winning combination of playing style and substance.
The band was formed as a reunion for members of Manfed Mann, whose hits included 5-4-3-2-1 and Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn).
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 ‘60’s, and still the biggest audience pleaser at their concerts, along with a mix of Jazz and Blues covers from their new album Makin’ Tracks.
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.
Tickets are selling fast so don’t delay. They are £21 from www.thebrindley.org.uk and the box office on 0151 907 8360.
