“The most interesting duo we have seen live in recent memory. Exceptional presence; soulful, energetic, they work it with burning talent.” – Folk Phenomena
In 2017 Terry’s thoughtfully crafted song writing caught the ear of acclaimed producer John Garden (Scissor Sisters/Alison Moyet). The pair recorded their first EP ‘Believe it a Little’ which John deemed “an extraordinary new talent” and “a real honour to work on.’ Even though the pair have been together a relatively short time, they have an impressive musical history including headlining their own UK EP tour, supporting the likes of Dreadzone, Natty and the Rebelship, Kioko, My Baby in Berlin as part of their European Tour and Haggis Horns. They have also become favourites at Cloudspotting Festival, Head for the Hills, Festival 23, Green Gathering, Solfest, Eden Festival, Super Weird Happenings and Hebden Folk Roots Festival where they played live on BBC Radio Leeds.
During this highly creative time, they have been busy refining their sound and are extremely proud to release their new EP, ‘Orpheus Vibrations’ co-produced by Chris Colling at the end of March 2019. "I was quite literally stunned by their performance, wonderful voice coupled with brilliant beautiful songs and when in full flow a mesmerising quality, Logan & Manley are definitely one to keep an eye on, absolutely amazing" Kermit, Black Grape
Terry Logan and Chris Manley’s artistic journeys have proved to be the perfect apprenticeship for the meeting of musical minds.
Terry found her love for music at an early age playing the African Drums and teaching herself to sing and play piano. Passing the phase of the shy bedroom singer, she joined forces with Leeds based hip hop band, The Loose Wires, where she honed her vocal acrobatics. Later, she developed her own soul and blues band where she learnt how to craft original songs from array of standards. It was when she travelled back to her roots in Guyana, that she picked up a little guitar called Freedom and began writing songs about the human experience that resonated her true creative purpose. Terry’s super vibes and original voice have seen her sing with the legendary Lee Scratch Perry, Geno Washington and Mr Scruff.
Chris Manley began to forge his guitar style in traditional classical music. With this foundation, Chris soared into a musical journey spanning genre and the desire to create his hybrid stylistic approach was born. Chris soon became a unique and accomplished performer. Chris was driven to take the guitar to challenging musical areas and became the rhythm and lead guitarist for live jungle and breakbeat outfits performing across the UK.
