Mano McLaughlin is a Manchester singer songwriter who released his first solo album in 2013 called Peach Got Bones. Elbow front man Guy Garvey has long been an admirer of Mano, even going so far as to call him "one of Britain's best songwriters" in the Guardian newspaper. Mano was 'featured artist of the week' on Guy Garvey's Finest Hour BBC 6 Music radio show and this video collects all Guy's comments, including "Mano McLauglin is a better lyricist than Lou Reed" as well as the full two tracks he aired 'Peach Got Bones' and 'Secret Scarecrow Dance'

I remember Mano as a very creative, inventive person. Great guitarist and singer and writer of some quite unique and inspired lyrics. Can't believe all those years have gone by!
I would be interested to learn a bit of Mano's life, whereabouts etc. since those far off days. Is he married? Got kids? for instance. What area does he live in? If anybody out there can enlighten me, I would be most gratefull.
Thank you Alan
