Catfish played at The
Stables earlier in the year, so we are very pleased to have them in the
comfortable surrounds of the Bletchley Blues Club. An International touring blues
rock powerhouse, Catfish are making waves on the music scene in the UK and
Europe. Matt Long the guitarist was named Instrumentalist of the Year in the UK

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.
Their first two albums 'So Many Roads' and ‘Broken Man’ both reached No.1 in
the IBBA airplay charts. The second of these, ‘Broken Man’, was also nominated
for a UK Blues Award and was named album of the year by the IBBA. Their third
album 'Burning Bridges' was released in May 2019 and has received excellent
reviews from the UK and European music press. It was the third most played
album by the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association in 2019 and was
nominated for a UK blues award for 2020 as album of the year.
