The Manfreds, fronted by original Manfred Mann members Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness, play their Get Your Kicks On Tour 2026 show at The Fire Station.
The Manfreds play The Fire Station on Thursday 19 November, part of their Get Your Kicks On Tour 2026. They're fronted by Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness, both original members of Manfred Mann, and they carry the name and the songbook of that band into the live arena. The rest of the line-up is Marcus Cliffe, Simon Currie, Pete Riley and Mike Gorman.
It's a two-hour set that starts with the songs the crowd comes for — '5-4-3-2-1', 'Pretty Flamingo', 'Mighty Quinn' and 'Do Wah Diddy Diddy' — and then moves into stretches of dynamic jazz and powerful blues. The Manfreds describe themselves as one of the most sought-after live bands touring the UK, and the set is built around that mix of the well-known hits and the jazz and blues that sat behind them. The original members, Jones and McGuinness, are the ones leading the way, with the other four filling out the sound.
