I have known Rob Maneo for around 40 years and played in a couple of bands with him back in the 1980s, first in Peculiar Clerk and later in Mirrored Image. Rob was a founding member of Peculiar Clerk along with Peter Keen, Steve Wold and Peter Marples.

Rob moved to Queensland in the early 1990s and stepped away from playing for many years while raising a family. A few years ago he returned to music and has since played in a number of bands.

Rob was always there when I needed bass parts for demo recordings, and he recently added bass to one of the songs on the new recordings that will appear on the forthcoming album when it is eventually released.
