Dubbed “the Sex Pistols of folk,” the remarkable rise of this band on the UK folk scene has been the subject of massive critical attention.About this Event
"Every now and again a folk-ish band breaks through and makes everyone fall in love with them. Trials of Cato should be the next one that the nation takes to their hearts. As perfect a mashup of pop and folk, power and passion as you could ever imagine." - Bristol 24-7
Dubbed “the Sex Pistols of folk” (J Davis) this English trio pays homage to tradition while twisting old bones into something febrile and modern, with stomping tunes and captivating stories. Formed in Beirut, Lebanon, The Trials of Cato returned to the UK in 2016. Memorable performances across Britain, Europe, and North America led famed DJ Mark Radcliffe to hail the band as “one of the real discoveries on the folk circuit in recent times,” with their 2018 debut Hide and Hair going on to win the BBC Radio 2 “Best Album” Folk Award. This will be their first show in the Capital Region.
