Man

Man play the Wrecking Ball Arts Centre on Saturday 27 February, bringing their long-running Welsh rock act to Hull. They're a band with a history that stretches back to 1968, when they formed in the South Wales scene. They took a brief pause in the late seventies but have kept recording and gigging ever since, and they're still at it now.

Their most recent album, Anachronism Tango, came out through Point in February 2019, and it arrived alongside Mojo Train, a limited edition CD EP. Between those and the decades of work before them, there's plenty of material to draw from for a single night.

That history is a long one, and the line-up has shifted many times over the years. The archive that documents them keeps track of the many musicians who've passed through the group, including Ray Williams, John Cipollina, Micky Jones, Clive John, Ken Whaley, Phil Ryan, Deke Leonard, Will Youatt and John McKenzie, as well as Vyvyan Morris, Geoff 'Sully' Sullivan, Peter Williams and Mick Williams. It's a fair list of names for a band that's been going since the sixties.

So, Man at the Wrecking Ball Arts Centre on Saturday 27 February. If you're into Welsh rock and want to see a band that's been around since 1968, that's the one.
