More info about The Pat McManus Band
rn in Derrylin, Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, Pat McManus grew up in a family steeped in traditional Irish music. A child prodigy on the fiddle, Pat won the All-Ireland Fiddle Championship at just 14 before discovering rock and electric guitar.
Pat first came to prominence with his brothers in the hard-rock outfit Mama's Boys, touring internationally and earning acclaim for his electrifying guitar work. After years on the road and countless albums, Pat began to explore his true musical roots - the blues.
Returning home to Ireland, Pat formed The Pat McManus Band, blending fiery blues-rock guitar with Celtic influences and heartfelt songwriting. The trio quickly built a reputation for high-energy live shows across Ireland and Europe, playing major festivals and sharing stages with legends such as Gary Moore, Wishbone Ash, and Bernie Marsden.
Today, the Pat McManus Band continues to keep the spirit of the blues alive, combining Pat's Irish heritage with his unmistakable guitar style - soulful, raw, and full of heart.
