The Manfreds will bring their Maximum Rhythm N Blues Show to Weston-super-Mare next autumn as part of a national tour.

The British rhythm and blues band will perform at the Playhouse Theatre on November 20, 2025.

The Manfreds, formed by original members of the 1960s chart-topping band Manfred Mann, are known for their blend of rhythm and blues, jazz, and pop.

Their career spans more than six decades.

The band's journey began in the early 1960s with hits like 5-4-3-2-1, Do Wah Diddy Diddy, Pretty Flamingo, and The Mighty Quinn, all of which reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart.

The Manfreds have enjoyed a resurgence in recent years, with sold-out tours and critically acclaimed performances.

The current line-up of The Manfreds includes original members Paul Jones (vocals, harmonica) and Tom McGuinness (guitar, vocals), along with Marcus Cliffe (bass), Simon Currie (saxophone), Pete Riley (drums), and Mike Gorman (keyboards).

Joining The Manfreds on this tour is vocalist Noel McCalla, known for his work with Manfred Mann's Earth Band and his solo career.

Mr Jones said: "I'm eagerly anticipating another great tour, not only with the magnificent Manfreds, but also with the marvellous Mister McCalla."

Mr McGuinness added: "Really looking forward to being back on the road again and to making the musical acquaintance of Noel McCalla."

Mr McCalla said: "Superb, what a privilege to be invited to share the stage with The Manfreds.

"What's not to be excited about?

"A treat in store."

The Manfreds' Maximum Rhythm N Blues Show will be a celebration of the band’s musical heritage and their contribution to British pop culture.
