Guy Manning is a British multi-instrumentalist and singer best known for his own album work and for his membership of progressive rock bands Parallel or 90 Degrees and The Tangent.
Biography
Manning and keyboardist/vocalist Andy Tillison had an early unsigned band called Gold Frankincense & Disk Drive. The band's final line-up included Dave Albone on drums and a guest spot from Van Der Graaf Generator organ player Hugh Banton. One piece by this line-up, "A Gap in the Night", was later included on Parallel or 90 Degrees' The Corner of My Room before being reworked for the second album by The Tangent
Tillison and Manning then formed a new band, Parallel or 90 Degrees, with Sam Baine also on keyboards, but Manning was soon to leave.
Manning went on to release five of his own albums [1] on the Cyclops label and three more, A Matter Of Life & Death (The Journal of Abel Mann), One Small step... and Anser's Tree, for US label ProgRock Records. His latest solo release was Songs from the Bilston House (2007), released on the Festival Music (F2) label [2]. Tillison has guested on several of these, while other guests have included Martin Orford (IQ) and Angela Gordon (Mostly Autumn). The ProgRock Records album covers were by Ed Unitsky.
Guy Manning is also a full time member of The Tangent
Previously, plans for a solo album by Tillison transformed into the first The Tangent release, The Music That Died Alone (2003). This initial line-up included Manning, Sam Baine, Roine Stolt, Jonas Reingold and Zoltan Csorsz from The Flower Kings, and David Jackson from Van der Graaf Generator. Other Tangent members include Theo Travis, Jaime Salazar, Krister Jonsson, Jakko Jakszyk
In all, Manning has played on four studio and one live album by The Tangent. See main article on The Tangent.
Manning and Tillison also teamed up as fictional italian band La Voce Del Vento to provide two long pieces for the Colossus Project Discs (The Spaghetti Epics #1 and #2)
