The Manfreds
Special Guest Megan Lee
The Manfreds: Hits & More in '24 Following the huge success of their 60th anniversary tour in 2023, The Manfreds will be coming to Nantwich Roots on Sunday 19th May at Nantwich Civic Hall.
They are considered one of the finest and most respected bands from the 1960's 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, 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 and tracks from their individual solo albums.
Paul Jones, with his unique harmonica sound, will be joined by founder member Tom McGuinness on guitar, Pete Riley on drums, Mike Gorman on keyboards, Marcus Cliffe on bass, and Simon Currie on saxophone/ flute.
We're very happy to announce locally based singer MEGAN LEE as support act for The Manfreds.
One of the North Wests most popular and in-demand contemporary jazz singers, Megan has been played on BBC Radio 2 and has shared stages with acts including Rudimental, Ruby Turner and Pixie Lott.
She's a long standing friend of the festival, and a regular presenter on Cat FM.
