The Manfreds with special guest Noel McCalla, Saturday 25 July 2026

Joining The Manfreds during their two-set performance will be their very special guest – the fabulous Noel McCalla

The Manfreds, featuring Paul Jones, Mike d’Abo and Tom McGuinness, are bringing their highly acclaimed Maximum Rhythm and Blues show to Hampton Pool.

Their repertoire of hits includes their number one iconic songs ‘Do Wah Diddy Diddy’, ‘Pretty Flamingo’ and ‘The Mighty Quinn’, plus numerous more top 10 hits of the 60s. Paul Jones and Mike d’Abo also enjoyed solo success and Tom McGuinness was part of the hugely successful group, McGuinness Flint.

For this date, joining The Manfreds during their two-set performance, will be their very special guest – the fabulous Noel McCalla. Amongst Noel’s impressive CV is “lead singer with Manfred Mann’s Earth Band from 1991 until 2009”, which means he brings great songs such as ‘Blinded By The Light’ and ‘Davy’s On The Road Again’ into the set list, plus his own unique blend of soul/jazz/blues inspired material. Noel was described as “One of Britain’s best soul singers” by Blues & Soul magazine and the band feel very privileged to have him on board.

This is a unique line-up not to be missed.

What they said

“The band’s ability to stay true to their roots, while evolving their sound, has ensured their music remains as relevant today as it was in the 60s”Martin Hutchinson, The BEAT

“The addition of Noel McCalla was inspired. Fresh arrangements, subtle tweaks to familiar songs, and a varied setlist made this another triumphant chapter in The Manfreds’ long story, proof that even after all these years, they’re still finding new ways to keep it fresh”Adrian Cork, Number 9
