This week on Prog-Watch my esteemed guest is Guy Manning of Manning, United Progressive Fraternity and Damanek! Guy and I chat about his various projects and the upcoming  Damanek tour with Southern Empire! And of course there is plenty of great music to be heard along the way!
Also: hear Tony clarify how Guy likes to pronounce “Damanek” and then revert to his own  pronunciation for the rest of the program! I guess you really can’t teach an old prog rock show host new tricks.

Guy Manning (born 20 January 1957 in Leeds, Yorkshire, England) is an English multi-instrumentalist and singer, best known for his own band, Manning, which released more than a dozen official albums, and for his work with a number of other progressive rock bands including Parallel or 90 Degrees, The Tangent, and The United Progressive Fraternity (UPF). He has also guested on albums by bands such as Cyril, Seven Steps To The Green Door, and La Voce del Vento. His most recent band, Damanek, currently includes Sean Timms (Unitopia and Southern Empire), Marek Arnold (Toxic Smile and Seven Steps To The Green Door) and Dan Mash (Maschine). Damanek have released two albums to date, On Track (in 2017) and In Flight (in 2018), and are about to embark on a tour with Southern Empire.
