The Manfreds, featuring original Manfred Mann members Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness, will be returning to Frome Memorial Theatre for one last time in 2027 with their Hits, Jazz & Blues show.

 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 65 years on, The Manfreds will be performing many of their hits, including ‘Pretty Flamingo’, ‘The Mighty Quinn’, ‘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, Marcus Cliffe on bass, Simon Currie on saxophone/ flute, Mike Gorman on keyboards & Pete Riley on drums.
