X-Factor

17 July 2009

Norfolkline are pleased to announce the arrival of a new act to compliment their existing onboard entertainment. One of Norfolkline’s very own staff members, Paul Donnelly, from the Belfast Office is also lead singer with the talented local show band, ‘The Manhattans’, who will be performing on Norfolkline’s return sailings every Saturday until the end of August between Belfast and Liverpool (Birkenhead).


The talented show band is one of the best in the business and covers everything from lively dance, rock n roll, pop ballads and instrumental ballads to the best of Irish Country music, as well as hits from the musicals.

Swapping his daytime office wear for his stage outfit, Paul will be busy wowing the crowds on the ferry with his band, which features three vocalists and a wonderfully talented group of musicians.

Poul Woodall Route Director of Norfolkline Irish Sea, stepped onboard to hear the band rehearse, he commented ‘The Manhattans are a superb group, full of fun and excitement. We are delighted to have them onboard and we know that our passengers will enjoy a great experience, with their wide range of musical talent.’

Get onboard with Norfolkline this summer and let your sailing be a pleasurable one with fantastic entertainment from ‘The Manhattans’.
