Phil Manzanera- A Night of Iconic Music and Stories Presented by Hay Festival
Join us for an evening with legendary guitarist, songwriter, and producer Phil Manzanera, as he takes the stage for an intimate performance and conversation. Best known as the lead guitarist of the influential band Roxy Music, he has played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of rock music from the 1970s to today. His innovative guitar work on classic albums like For Your Pleasure, Stranded, and Avalon helped define Roxy Music’s unique blend of art rock, glam, and sophisticated pop.
In addition to his work with Roxy Music, Manzanera has had a successful solo career, releasing critically acclaimed albums such as Diamond Head and K-Scope, which showcase his diverse musical influences, ranging from rock and progressive rock to Latin and world music. He has also been a key collaborator with artists like Brian Eno, David Gilmour, and Pink Floyd, contributing to some of the most memorable music of the past few decades.
This special event will feature a live performance by Manzanera, where he will play selections from his extensive career, as well as share stories from his time with Roxy Music, his solo projects, and his collaborations with some of the biggest names in music.
