Work has started on the next MANNING Studio album entitled,"The Root, the Leaf & the Bone".

1. The Root, the Leaf & the Bone
2. Old School
3. The Forge
4. Autumn Song
5. The Huntsman & the Poacher
6. Decon(struction) Blues
7. Mists of Morning Calling to the Day
8. The Palace of Delights
9. Amongst the Sleepers

763

The main theme is one of 'Change & Loss' in various guises.
The recording line-up will comprise of the current (and newly revised) MANNING band plus some Special Guests (TBA).

Pictures from the recent band promo photo shoot are now published on the web site.

It is envisaged that the bulk of this new material will be premiered with the 2013 live dates (ahead of the album release).

2013 The year of the great MANNING excavation!

Meanwhile, we are very glad to report that the newly released 'AKOUSTIK' album is getting some very positive and high rating excellent reviews across the web and in world wide magazines.

This is the last album to feature Chris Catling, Kev Currie and Steve Dundon as permanent MANNING band members and it also welcomes David Million back to fold and as such, it has become a great transitional set of songs for us to share with you plus it serves to highlight to other side of what the band does!

I just got finished playing "Margaret's Children". Really good listen! I have all of Manning's albums; my favorite being "The Ragged Curtain". However, there's not a bad one in the bunch. I'm glad I got to see the band live at RoSfest. So I guess you can say that I am looking forward to the new release.
