Phil Manzanera, celebrated Roxy Music guitarist, solo artist and producer, will perform with his new band at the International Guitar Festival of Great Britain on Saturday 12 November in the Floral Pavilion Theatre, Wirral.  Phil’s band of friends are:  Paul Thompson, Roxy Music’s powerhouse drummer and longtime Pink Floyd players, bassist Guy Pratt and keyboards/lead vocals, Jon Carin.

Phil Manzanera’s career spans over 40 years, both as an original member of the seminal band Roxy Music and as a solo artist and collaborator.  The set list for this unique and one-off concert on 12 November will reflect the many highlights of this varied and singular career: from Roxy classics such as ‘Amazona’ and ‘In Every Dream Home’ to 801’s ‘Miss Shapiro’, ‘TNK’, ‘East of Asteroid’ to Pink Floyd’s ‘Astronomy Domine’ and ‘One Slip’ co-written by Phil and ‘Interstella Overdrive’.  Phil will include his version of Jay Z and Kanye West’s track ‘No Church in the Wild’ which features his sampled music from the 1978 album K Scope : their album, ‘Watch The Throne’ shot to Number 1 in the US in August.

Phil Manzanera:

“I’m delighted to have Paul, Jon and Guy as friends and fellow musicians.  I’ve played with the TGPT (The Great Paul Thompson) for over 40 years, includingthis year on the UK/Australia/NZ Roxy Music tour and first played with Guy in Roxy  and  together  with Jon in 2006 on the David Gilmour tour. We’re looking forward to the challenge of touring our new band.”
