The Manfreds - 60 Years of Hits, Jazz & Blues

The Manfreds will be returning to The Memorial Theatre, Frome on Friday 24 th

February as part of their 60 th Anniversary celebrations.

They are considered one of the finest and most respected bands from the 1960's

era and 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, 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 Tom

McGuinness on guitar, Rob Townsend on drums, Mike Gorman on keyboards,

Marcus Cliffe on bass, and Simon Currie on saxophone/ flute.
