Man

Man are a rock band from South Wales whose style is a mixture of West Coast psychedelia, progressive rock, blues and pub rock. Formed in 1968 as a reincarnation of Welsh rock harmony group ‘’The Bystanders’’, Man are renowned for the extended jams in their live performances. Man evolved out of The Bystanders, a successful close harmony pop group from Merthyr Tydfil who played numerous club residencies in Wales, often playing several clubs a night. They also recorded sessions of cover versions for the BBC as rules restricting needle time required "live" performances between the records during the 1960's becoming regulars on the ’’Jimmy Young Show’’, "The David Symonds Show" and others. The band split in 1973 and reformed in 1983 with different members over the years including Deke Leonard.
