One of the most talked-about guitar albums of 2002, Ceol More demonstrates Tony McManus’s continuingly-evolving ability to not only perform traditional Celtic music on guitar, but to expand and reinvent it via his ingenious, subtle virtuosity.

"Few guitarists can present Celtic music with the gusto and nuance they possess when played on fiddles or bagpipes. Tony McManus is one of those few."

 Acoustic Guitar

"One of Scotland's most successful current solo acts is Tony McManus. He has carved out a category virtually all to himself with his dazzlingly virtuosic renderings of traditional and less traditional tunes on acoustic guitar."

- CELTIC MUSIC - the essential listening companion

"Within minutes he had me and the rest of the band completely mesmerized with his solo playing. Reels, jigs and airs came tripping out of his fingers. This man has a talent second to none. His sensitivity and dexterity combine to make him one of the most listenable guitarists around. A musical tour de force. Brace yourself!"

 - Phil Cunningham

"Tony McManus not only pushes the envelope of his own musicianship, but furthers the relationship between the guitar and Celtic music. He sounds good too!"
