Sydney singer/songwriter Manning Patston has been crafting his sound since 2017, in and around pubs, bars, events, weddings, markets, pavements, bedrooms, and anywhere else he’s been able to plug-in.
Acoustic guitar, loop pedal, and mic on deck, Manning serves up rock/pop/folk tunes tailored for his audience. Influences include Simon & Garfunkel, Crowded House, Pete Murray, and Fleetwood Mac. Regular venues played include Emirates Wolgan Valley Resort, The Glenmore, The Australian, Penrith Panthers, Glebe Markets, and many more.
Manning Patson’s astute chamber-pop chord changes and surreal lyrical asides, powerful baritone and relaxing swing create the perfect Friday night vibe to a relaxing Sunday afternoon, fit for any occasion.
Manning is also a featured Artist of our Event Entertainers Duo, Elk
“Our wedding ceremony and drinks/canapés were unforgettable thanks to Manning’s live music. He was incredibly easy to communicate with in the lead up to the big day (especially as the first wedding was cancelled due to COVID!), brought all of his own equipment, and learned/performed our selected song requests without any hesitation. Talented, flexible, affordable, self-sufficient…tick, tick, tick, tick! An absolute highlight of our big day – we can’t thank him enough!“
Marnie Shanahan– Married at Milestone Events

How will Manning match the vibe of our event?
Manning has an extensive range of low and high energy songs suited for different needs. With a loop pedal on deck at all times, the music can be stripped back or full of rhythm. The choice is yours!
If an audience is looking to relax, Manning will keep the music soft and chilled with songs like Isn’t She Lovely and Dreams. If a celebration’s in order, more upbeat songs like You Can Call Me Al and Waiting On The World To Change will be a great addition to your event.
