REVIEW Soundbytes
"Number 10" is more than 60 minutes of melodic, "classical" and in many cases really beautiful progressive rock."
MLWZ
"Number 10 has set the bar for all other releases in the Progressive Rock Genre for 2009, if this had been released in the late 70’s or early 80’s then we’d have been seeing Mr Manning on our TV screens in the endless documentaries about how ‘good the old prog was’.
Paul Baker (ARFm)
"Unbelievably, this is Guy Manning’s tenth studio album in as many years, hence the title. Producing an album a year would be a task for most artists, but the consistency of the quality of his songwriting throughout each album is nothing short of staggering.
Guy over the course of ten years has refined his style, built up a group of excellent supporting musicians and has consistently produced work of such a high standard. “Number 10” is up there with his best, which is most of his output and is a very fitting celebration of ten years worth of superb music. Here’s to another ten!"
Dr. Barrie Sillars (Progressive Land)
Guy is also a member of the international project band

Not As Good As The Book
I am about half way done with my latest update to my page. Take a peek and listen to the first five songs from my up and comming cd. Right now the release date is in December.
A new feature is you can post your favorite song on your web page!
My new theme is about fall, with the songs having a sence of wanderlust and rambling on.
I hope you enjoy my pictures, and you will return to my page when it's completed. I'm currently recording the other five songs and putting together the final touches.
I hope you will take the time to listen, check out my pictures and (please, please, please) post a comment about your favorite song from my playlist.
I hope you are having a nice fall and take care. I hope to hear from you soon.
Jeff Moats
P/S " I get by with a little help from (you) My Friends!"
Hey Guy!!! How are you friend?? Thanks so much for accept the add!!! I like so much your solo works and collaborations with The Tangent!!! We hope a lot of luck with your career!!!!!!!!
We're a cover duet from Spain that play songs of bands like Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Nightwish, Mike Oldfield, Neal Morse, Deep Purple, Jewel...
Hi Guy & band members, after CRF in hindsight I can say your set was the best surprise. Brilliants songs, and well anything nautical I am always drawn to, so 'Ships' is in vogue... hope to see you again if you venture south in future - fabulous
