Welcome to the John McManus Website
John started out as the singer and bass player in successful 80's rock group MAMA'S BOYS. (Jive)
More recently, he was the singer and low whistle player in CELTUS (Sony) winning 'Best Album' at The Irish World Awards for the debut album 'Moonchild.'
John composes music for film & TV in many styles from pop, rock, dance, celtic, ambient and luscious instrumentals and also developing new artists at his studio in Baker St. London.
"Unlike an awful lot of what I get sent as potential film music, there is something different and unique about John's work. I guess because he is a performer and composer first, rather than someone trying to write stereotypical film music." David Grey, Silver City Films Mob: 07986-255-892
