Starting out as a two piece back in 2018, Tara and Edd created ‘The Mann and I’ who played edgy folk, for edgy folk.
Revamping songs written by alternative singer/songwriter Edd Mann, they gigged around Brighton and London playing venues such as Concorde 2 and The Bedford.
In 2019 they were joined by bassist Ash Thompson and drummer Joe Savage. Together they created a new “rockier” sound taking influence from bands such as No Doubt, Paramore, The Mars Volta and Blondie. Notable shows the band have played together include, the O2 Academy - Islington, The Notting Hill Arts Club and the Fiddler’s Elbow Street Festival.
