Aubrey Mann, one of the founding members of the once famous Mischievous Guys Band, has not been heard from for some time. But the seasoned singer, fondly referred to by his fans as the ‘Love Man’, is making a comeback with an album slated to be release by mid next year.
Aubrey comes from a family of music lovers. His father, Clem Thomas, was a drummer and singer, while his mother Sheila Mansfield-Grenardo, was described as a top-level soprano. She was a member of the Woodside Choir and was later the recipient of a national award, the Golden Arrow of Achievement.
It was on November 28, 1951, that Clem and Sheila celebrated the birth of identical twin sons. However, the festive mood changed two days later when Aubrey’s brother passed on. Seven years later the singer’s parents decided to go their separate ways and Aubrey and his mother returned to live at David Street, Kitty where the family had lived previously.
