Who are The Baga Cats?In early 2003 based in Cork City singer
songwriter Karl Glass and Marja Tukhanan
(violin), Having played in a duo for a short time,
were joined by Jason Anderson (guitar & vox) and
Sean Gallagher (double bass). During a recording
session a drummer was required. Enter Paul
Keating fusing it all together. An acoustic
delight, Mrs Cats was allive. ( the Cat to friends).Why the name change?It seems that one day while searching the net for the cat ,
some friends found an article stating the name was a bad
omen, and that it's meaning was one of circles and spoke of
folding in on itself. So the name was changed to
The Baga Cats.So what is The Baga Cats?Due to the exceptional talents of the musicians
involved, they find themselves in high demand. Thusly
and naturally any member must, and can be able to
drop in and out from time to time. Because no one could possibly
maintain a full or long term roll, The Baga Cats is actually an organic,
ever evolving musical entity. It's body and soul, being the wonderfully
talented and generous musicians and singers based in Cork City,
Ireland and beyond, who give voice to the songs of Karl Glass.
