I'm a 23 year old singer/songwriter from Bromley in Kent.
I've spent the last few months preparing for my debut album 'Either Side Of Midnight' to be released (it's released on 5th May) - this has included recording the album and playing live around the UK with the likes of Scouting For Girls, Amy Macdonald, and Just Jack.
When I'm not writing, recording, touring, promoting etc.... I like to play footy in my local five-a-side team, and have the odd game of tennis.
Make sure you check out www.jackmcmanus.co.uk to download my song 'Not The Hardest Part' for free, and if you join the mailing list you'll be kept up to date with everything I'm doing.
Enjoy the free track and I'll hopefully see you on the road somewhere!
Cheers, Jack x

Happy Holidays to you. Be well. I've read that the holidays can be very depressing to some. If you know someone like that, share this with them :)
1 of the most effective "natural cures" ever documented (really) 4 depression...
Have them stand in front of a mirror...smile...bigger...no, even bigger...that's it...an honest to goodness ear 2 ear smile! Look at you...standing there...strong...powerful...nothing is impossible for you...no limitations...you are the earth...you are the sky...and they are you...now, laugh...bigger...one of those gut bursting, side hurting, deep belly laughs...that's it. :)
