About Me

Kitty and the Can Openers have appeared on U-105's Homemade Jam and were most recently to be heard on Feile FM's local music showcase Livewire. Live credits include Gifted at The Empire Music Hall in the good city of Belfast. It is also worth mentioning that this band pull songs out of the stratosphere like pennies from behind your ear- for proof, have a listen to these snippets from their new EP (available to buy on upcoming website kittyandthecanopeners.com, watch this space!). contact: [email protected]
