Welcome to the Manband Archive.

The Manband this week is : Martin Ace - Bass, vocals; Josh Ace - Guitar, vocals; Phil Ryan - Keyboards, vocals; James Beck - Guitar, vocals; René Robrahn - Drums, vocals.

The latest studio album 'Kingdom Of Noise' was recorded in the autumn of 2008, and was released during the spring of 2009.

Not without its troubles, the closing stages of the recording sessions saw the departure of George Jones and Bob Richards from Man.

James Beck, who joins on guitar, is well known to the Man family being part of Josh's band Ringolevio and of Martin's side-project Omigosh. New face René Robrahn on drums has an enviable track record as a session drummer.

Micky Jones passed away peacefully on 10th March 2010 following a series of brain tumours which robbed MAN of his presence since 2005. Our heartfelt condolences to George, Jenny and the rest of the Jones family.

Deke Leonard is pursuing a number of solo projects, including promotion of his solo album: Freedom And Chains. The reformed Iceberg now features Taff Williams, Will Youatt and Bob Richards.

George Jones is preparing a new project, and working hard with The Fabulous Cover Sluts to make sure every pub, club and bar has a live band to keep their spirits (and beers) up. George hopes to continue working with drummer Bob Richards amongst others, to keep the Jones legacy alive and kicking.
