Introducing the band:
Matt Long - guitar and vocals
Paul Long - keyboards and vocals

corona virus
Like most bands, Catfish's touring schedule has been badly affected over the past couple of years by cancellations due to lockdowns and some venues closing permanently. We had no choice but to cancel quite a few of our UK gigs and also most of our 2021 European tours either due to through extensions to the lockdowns in various European countries or due to the terrible flooding through Germany, Luxembourg and Holland in summer of 2021 which closed several of the venues we were due to play at. We have rescheduled as many of these events as we possibly can for 2022 but please bear with us while we weather this storm...we have just completed our second European tour since Brexit and Covid so we hope that things will now start to return to something like normal.

Reviews of 'Burning Bridges'
‘Catfish can only consolidate their place at the very top of the Blues-Rock scene with this impressive album’
Blues in Britain Magazine, May 2019
‘… this is so much more than just a blues album: you have blues, rock, gospel and all sorts of other influences that go into making this album a must have in your collection. Prepare to have your face melted by some of these tracks, pure class.’
Will Carter, Two Finger Media
‘The strong buzz that has been going around about this new album and proclaiming Catfish as one of the hottest bands of the decade aren’t wrong: the writing, playing and sheer balls-out power of this band is remarkable……It is such a joy to hear a relatively new band who are as talented and as convincing as Catfish.’
Andy Snipper, Music-News.com
‘I was astounded by the depth of styles. The production. The building and thunderous crescendos. Not since Zeppelin II. Have I been enraptured immediately by a release. Parts reminded me of Alan Parsons, early Sabbath amongst others. Only reminded, for this is a Tour de Force, the best band around, not Blues, not Rock . A unique blend of their own.’
Gary Taylor, fan
‘With their 3rd studio album, these Catfish assure themselves of a place in the British rock firmament.’
Rootsville.eu, Holland
‘This is another brilliant album by the band and I’m sure it wont be long before Burning Bridges will also be mentioned at the awards ceremonies.’
Dave Martin, Jace Media
