Burning Rope is the new band formed by former Catfish members Paul Long and Adam Pyke, with superb blues rock guitarist Alex Voysey and Mitch Weaving (who also toured several times with Catfish) on drums.
The band is born out of family tragedy and loss following the death in October 2024 from cancer of the Catfish frontman Matt Long, and a desire by other members of the band to continue playing music. They’ll be performing some of Paul’s songs from Catfish and previous bands, plus new material written over the past year, together with a few unusual covers.
Their debut album, simply entitled ‘Burning Rope’, launched in October and was no. 1 in the IBBA playlist charts in the UK. Their second album has been recorded and is due for release later in 2026.
They were nominated last year in the UK Blues awards top 20 in three categories – Emerging Artist of the Year, album of the year and band of the year.
The gig is part of the UK leg of their tour after they play extensively across Europe over the summer.
“..unvarnished, unafraid and burning bright against the dark.”
“deep grooves, fine interplay, reflective and observational story telling narratives and dollops of Pink Floyd era, David Gilmour style guitar.”
