International touring blues rock powerhouse Catfish have been making waves on the music scene in the UK and Europe, winning the UK Blues Award in 2018 as Blues Act of the Year (England) to add to their 2016 British Blues Award.
Their album ‘Broken Man’ was nominated for a UK Blues Award and was named album of the year by the IBBA, and their new album 'Burning Bridges' has received excellent reviews in the UK and Europe, not least in Music-News.com where we gave it ****.
In the last few years, they have played at almost every major UK blues festival and have established themselves as a real force in the British blues scene.
They now tour regularly in Europe.
