Myles Manley

Myles Manley is a singer, songwriter and musician from Sligo, Ireland.

His musical output consists mostly of sweetly melodious, literary pop songs with idiosyncratic rhythm.

He has released an album 'Greatest Hits 2012-2013', an EP 'More Songs' (2015) and several singles to critical acclaim. These releases have been accompanied by fantastical music videos made in collaboration with filmmakers such as Bob Gallagher, Seamus Hanly and Michael Higgins, which situate Myles Manley somewhere between enigmatic popstar and outsider folk artist.

Most recently, in early 2020, Myles Manley released a new series of interconnected narrative music videos titled 'Aaa'.

Myles Manley has toured the Irish and UK DIY scenes extensively in the last number of years in a three piece band with Chris Barry and Solamh Kelly. A new album 'Cometh the Softies' which documents the intricate live sound of the band is set for release later in the year.
