Tony McManus with an opening set by The Bishops

Hailed by John Renbourn as ‘the best Celtic guitarist in the world’ Tony McManus  has been listed as one of the 50 transcendental guitarists of all time by Guitar Player Magazine. Conjuring a unique but universal language from that most ubiquitous of instruments, the acoustic guitar, Tony McManus has both extended and transcended the parameters of contemporary Celtic music. Ranked by peers and predecessors alike alongside the guitar world’s all-time greats, his fiendishly dexterous, dazzlingly original playing draws on traditions from the entire Celtic diaspora – Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Galicia, Asturias, Cape Breton, Quebec – along with still further-ranging flavours, such as jazz and east European music. 

“Tony McManus’ music is beyond beautiful, it’s perfect.” – Tommy Emmanuel
