Description
Mannerisms, sub-titled A Celebration of the music of Geoff Mann is a multi-artist compilation featuring covers of songs written by the late British singer and songwriter Geoff Mann (April 11, 1956 – February 5, 1993), released on Wobbly Records in co-operation with the Dutch label SI Music in October 1994. The benefit CD of the late British rocker’s Geoff Mann songs was coordinated by secular company SI Music in Holland, with the profits going to Geoff’s widow Jane and to cancer research. English contributors include Twelfth Night, IQ, Mark Catley, Pendragon, Jadis and Clive Nolan.
Following the death of Geoff Mann through cancer, the three remaining members of Eh! Geoff Mann Band have gone back in the studio to record a track for an album of Geoff’s songs. The album, provisionally titled ‘Mannerisms’, is being put together by various friends and musical admirers. Said Eh! Geoff Mann Band’s Paul Keeble, “We recorded an old Bond song «Sob Stories», in a somewhat different version to the original with Pete Nicholls of IQ guesting on vocals.” Also to feature on the album are Eden Burning, Marc Catley, IQ, Twelfth Night, Clive Davenport and Clive Nolan.
