The Welsh Connection (stylized on the cover as Welsh-Connection) is the eleventh album by the Welsh rock band Man and was released on the MCA Records label 1976. [3] It was their first MCA release, and the first after a change of line-up that saw John McKenzie take over on bass from Martin Ace, and Phil Ryan rejoin. Ryan had worked with Pete Brown in the interim, and arranged for Brown to play on two tracks.
