Geoff Mann (born Edmund Geoffrey Mann) was a progressive rock musician during the 1980s. Emerging as lead singer with Reading's "nearly quite big"[1] neo-progressive rock band Twelfth Night[2] from 1981 to November 1983, (having originally been associated with the band as a roady and backdrop painter) Mann's charismatic and creative presence were central to the band's identity for this period. Mann produced several solo albums, influenced by his Christian faith[3], and later went on to form The Bond, and Eh! Geoff Mann Band[4].
Having been ordained as a Priest in the Church of England in 1991, Geoff died from cancer in 1993.
