"Tony and his team
at Manilla are far and away the best PR
resource I’ve ever used – it’s as simple
as that. I would describe the service we
receive as ‘wildly effective delivery
backed up by timely, personal,
intelligent execution’.
We’ve had several successes including
sessions and live interviews at regional
BBC stations, countless print and online
reviews and several play-listings across
the UK. We changed our PR resource once.
Never again. Manilla is the best in the
business bar none”.
Dan Batchelor, The Lazarus Plot
(Illuminated Music)
"Manilla PR
provides an industrious and dynamic
service. Their press reach is broad,
from online through to national press
and all bases in between. They also have
excellent contacts in local and national
radio and TV. I have used them across a
number of artists encompassing different
genres and they have always delivered.
They are also extremely cost effective
whether leading a campaign or augmenting
one."
Mike Andrews
Director – Enable Music
‘’It has been a
pleasure working with Manilla as a pr
company for our latest album (Mercury).
It is great to not have the pressure of
chasing up reviews and interviews and
still know that the album has been
landing on the desks that supposedly
matter and at least getting a chance of
being seen.
I think they live
inside a computer as they always reply
to any queries quickly and sometimes
even before the send button has been
pressed.’’

I have always felt
completely confident with Manilla PR's representation
of my band. You are always kept in the
loop with whats happening with a one to
one helpful professional approach. Any
questions are answered and dealt with
promptly and they will stick by you even
in times of crisis. I would happily
recommend their services to anyone.

'I've worked with
Manilla for a couple of years now;
they've been invaluable in raising my
profile and have created press & radio
opportunities I certainly wouldn't have
had otherwise. They offer a thorough,
personally tailored service for a really
good price - if you're in the market for
some PR and you don't have the budget of
Sony or BMG I would recommend you give
them a ring.'
Chaz Craik – Stillman
“Manilla’s
enthusiasm, dedication and commitment is
second to none.”
Mark Desvaux – TRL Music Director
Manilla PR are an
innovative, dedicated and successful PR
company who I was very lucky to have
come across. Unlike many PR companies,
where it is easy to get "lost in the
system" Manilla cares about each and
every one of their artists and have been
known to make tailor made campaigns to
suit the individual needs of their
clients. I have had the pleasure of
working with Manilla PR for a number of
years now and I have never seen their
enthusiasm and focus wane. They are
attentive, cost effective, and lateral
thinking in their approach. Sometimes
they even go beyond the realms of PR,
acting in the capacity you would
normally only expect from a manager.
They have booked me gigs, designed me
t-shirts, arranged photoshoots and even
music videos! Manilla PR are a family
who have a strong work ethic and it
really shows. Whichever member of staff
you are individually assigned to, they
are all up to date with each
other's schedules so their is a
continuity of care. With major contacts
in press, radio and tv., Manilla are a
company who have built relationships
with key people in the music industry
over time and their friendly but
persistent approach is what all their
clients can now benefit from.
I thoroughly recommend them!

"Manilla PR have booked me for numerous
radio shows, got me TV appearances and
festivals. They are friendly, helpful
and seem at times to go beyond the call
of duty, like putting together a whole
video at very short notice. Probably the
best PR company around in the UK (and
who knows, maybe the best in the world)
and for an extremely affordable price!
I'll be singing their praises to
everyone I meet! Long live Manilla
PR!!!!!!!!!!"
Abigail Hopkins - Possessed Records
'Thanks
very much for all the effort you put
into promoting the single - we can tell
you worked hard on it and would
definitely use your services again'
The Golden Virgins.
'Manilla PR have been a saviour to Fat
Northerner Records. At last a company
with a similar ethos to us – where it
really is ‘all about the music’. They
have proved fantastic at obtaining some
great opportunities for our bands, often
going beyond expectations. They are
friendly, efficient and understanding, I
would recommend Manilla to any label.’
Ruth Daniel, Director -
Fat Northerner Records.
"They've done the hard work of knocking
on doors, making contacts and shouting
out about my music, letting me
concentrate on writing and performing.
There are certainly more people out
there who now know who the f**k Ed
Parrish is!" -
