9.00: The
Manfred’s -
Our
headline band for 2008!
Since The Manfreds
re-formed in 1991, they have been in constant demand
throughout the World…understandably considering the number
of top ten hits they had, not only with The Manfreds, but
also individually. 2008 is no different, a tour of USA in
the spring, followed by a tour of Australia and then the UK
tour of their highly acclaimed ‘Maximum Rhythm ‘n’ Blues’
show.
The Manfreds feature Paul Jones (also a Radio 2 DJ) and
Mike D'Abo, plus original members Tom McGuiness and Mike
Hugg – from the Manfred Mann band. Their amazing catalogue
of hits includes 16 Top Twenty Hits and 3 Number Ones
including ‘Do Wah Diddy’, ‘Mighty Quinn’, ‘5-4-3-2-1’,
‘Pretty Flamingo’, ‘Sha La La’, ‘If You Gotta Go, Go Now’,
‘Ha Ha Said The Clown’, ‘Semi Detatched Suburban’ ‘My Name
is Jack and many more! Mike D’Abo has his own incredible
track record as hit songwriter of ‘Handbags and Gladrags’
(yes that song, the one done by Rod Stewart & the
Stereophonics) and ‘Build Me Up Buttercup’.
The Manfred’s will perform two 50 minute sets for us taking
us through to 11.15
Please show your appreciation to all the wonderful support
acts who have performed free of charge to help support our
charitable association.
Enjoy a fantastic day & night of music and
entertainment and return home safely and happy.
