Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Manfreds - Get Your Kicks On Tour 2026
An amazing evening featuring the legendary Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness, two original members of Manfred Mann, along with the talented Marcus Cliffe, Simon Currie, Pete Riley and Mike Gorman. A great two-hour performance packed with iconic hits, dynamic jazz and powerful blues.
This line-up has become one of the most sought after live bands touring the UK and, in 2026, they’re inviting you to celebrate their timeless classics. Enjoy favourites like ‘5-4-3-2-1’, ‘Pretty Flamingo’, ‘Mighty Quinn’ and ‘Do Wah Diddy Diddy’, alongside a selection of rhythm and blues-inspired gems and unforgettable solo successes.
Between 1964 and 1979 Manfred Mann scored three British Number One hits – plus two more Number One hits in America plus another seven that went Top Five and six more that made the Top 10.
Over this period Manfred Mann’s bands featured some of the finest singers on the British pop and rock scene: Paul Jones, Mike d’Abo, Mick Rogers and Chris Thompson, all of whom have gone on to enjoy successful and varied solo careers. Their distinctive voices have all added to the rich variety of Manfred Mann’s classic hits.
Manfred Mann had their first Number One in the summer of 1964 with Do Wah Diddy Diddy Diddy, written by the famous New York Brill Building song writing duo of Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry. They also found themselves in the vanguard of the British pop invasion of America alongside the Beatles and the Animals (and ahead of the Rolling Stones) as the song shot to the top of the US charts.
In April 1966 Manfred Mann notched up their second British Number One with the melodic Pretty Flamingo. Surprisingly it only scraped into the American Top 30 but it left a lasting impression on a teenage Bruce Springsteen who regularly played it live during the early part of his career.
Pretty Flamingo was the crowning glory for the first incarnation of Manfred Mann, not least for the personality-driven voice of Paul Jones who decided to bow out on a high note.
