Phil Manzanera announces concert dates

Written by Matt

Wednesday, 03 December 2008

To tie in with the release of his great new album, Firebird V11, Phil Manzanera has announced that he will be playing three dates at the legendary Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London, on February 9th, 10th and 11th, 2009.

Phil, Roxy Music guitarist, writer, and producer, will be taking the stage with the Firebird V11 band - Charles Hayward, Yaron Stavi (who also forms part of Harry Waters current band) and Leszek Mozdzer, the Polish pianist who, like Phil, also participated on David Gilmour's On An Island and Gdansk projects. Click the thumbnail to the right to see the band in action during their recent live debut.

Phil Manzanera assembled this band earlier this year and over the course of one week they created the seven track instrumental album, Firebird V11. It was released in November 2008 and tracks from the album were given their live debut recently at Gibson Guitar's Showroom in London during an impressive performance.

Phil said of the upcoming shows: "The last time I was at Ronnie Scott's was to see the great Charlie Mingus. I was accompanied by Robert Wyatt, and the performance left a lasting impression on me. I’m delighted to be returning, some 40 years later, to play on that hallowed stage and with such a great band of musicians."

Tickets are available from Ronnie Scott's Box Office, on 0207 439 0747 (+44-207 439 0747 outside the UK), or online at: www.ronniescotts.co.uk. Tickets are available from £25.00, but please note that the venue is for those over 18 years old only.
