Phil Manzanera – Revolución to Roxy

As the lead guitarist of seminal 70s band Roxy Music, Phil Manzanera will need little introduction. His life on the road is one of legend, but his background is every bit as a fascinating…

“I’ve written this memoir for my English and Colombian family, dear friends and music fans, who’ve followed my musical twists and turns for over half a century.  It’s a memoir that spans my 50’s childhood in Cuba, Hawaii and Venezuela, when everything seemed in the brightest technicolor, to monochrome but very cool ‘60’s London and the start of a music career that continues to enrich my life.  Roxy Music is an important part of the story but I hope you will find my family history every bit as fascinating as my music adventures:  I’m proud to be related to the most famous 17^th century Sephardic Jewish pirate of the Caribbean, a British spy and an Italian opera musician.”

Phil has advised us that he will be bringing his guitar… we look forward to a little musical magic on the night…
