Manning

Manning is a troubadour with an acoustic guitar, and he'll play wherever people want live music, whether that's a pub, a gallery or a wedding. His songs sit between folk and pop, with the careful lyrics of 60s songwriters like Joni Mitchell as a guide and a pop ear for a good hook. Music has followed him everywhere, from SingStar and school concerts to jamming in his bedroom and busking on the street. He suits a gallery opening or a laid-back wedding reception where guests will actually hear the words. He's based in Sydney.
