Tony McManus
Tony McManus has been hailed by John Renbourn as ‘the best Celtic guitarist in the world’. The Canadian-resident Scotsman is certainly one of the finer acoustic fingerstylists.

In little over ten years as a professional musician Tony McManus has come to be recognised throughout the world as the leading guitarist in Celtic Music. From early childhood his twin obsessions of traditional music and acoustic guitar have worked together to produce a startlingly original approach to this ancient art. In Tony’s hands the complex ornamentation normally associated with fiddles and pipes is accurately transferred to guitar in a way that preserves the integrity and emotional impact of the music. To find a unique voice on so ubiquitous an instrument is quite an achievement.
Tony has been nominated as Musician of the Year by both the BBC Folk Awards and The Scottish Traditional Music Awards. His album “Ceol More” was named “Live Ireland Awards” Album of the Year.
