MANNING - New Live Line-up announced and more...

So here we are just before the Seasonal break and as well as wanting to wish you all a very Merry Christmas/Chanukah and a Happy, Peaceful New Year, we need to complete our 2011 activities with some late announcements!

THE NEW MANNING BAND:
We let you know recently, that Tim Leadbeater, the Manning keyboards player for the last two years had decided to leave the band for a 'quieter life!'...well we are very pleased to be able to tell you that our new keyboards player for 2012 and beyond will be Mr. Martin Thiselton. His full resume can be found on the site Biography page.
A well established arranger / composer / performer, Martin also plays the Viola and Violin, which I am sure will come in very useful indeed!

Also, we have now parted company with drummer, Joe Casey.
We wish him well with all his future projects.

Coming in to bat for us on Drums & Percussion is Mr. Rick Henry.
Again, find a lot more out about Rick on the Biography page.

REVIEWS AND INTERVIEWS:
More interviews have now been published here on the Press page, garnered from articles on web sites and magazines.

On Dec 28th 2011, the new issue of CLASSIC ROCK PRESENTS PROG publishes it's Xmas edition with a very nice sized article in it all about the band (as a follow up to the fabulous "Margaret's Children" review we got in the previous one).
We hope you will like it and also the great photo session we did with professional photographer, Stuart Wood.

LIVE DATES:
2012 promises far more live concert performances from us including SUMMERS END FESTIVAL 2012, CAMBRIDGE ROCK FESTIVAL 2012 and some long overdue European dates!!!

For up to the minute information, please make sure you keep on coming back and check out the Live page and also sign up for our exclusive Mailing list (at top of this page)

OK, that's about it for 2011.... It has been another great year for us! We hope you have enjoyed it too....
See you all down the road in 2012! and thanks once again for all your support...much appreciated..

Take Care
GuyM, Julie, Kris, Kev, Chris, Steve, Martin & Rick
