The Cat Pack

About Me

Formed in 2002, The Cat Pack are one of the leading jump jive, rhythm'n'blues, big band rockabilly orchestras in the UK. A dazzling, high-octane journey through all great rockin' and swingin' big band sounds from the old to the new including blistering original songs / arrangements and jaw-dropping performances - a big bunch of cats and kittens having a good time and giving it plenty. They have 2 CD's available on Raucous Records - 'It Aint What You Do' (2005) & 'Everybody Wants To Be A Cat' (2003) and have performed as supports for Chuck Berry and Little Richard, amongst many theatre shows and leading UK jive/swing events including the 'Swing Cats Ball', 'Colne Rhythm'n'Blues Festival' and 'Vegas', Edinburgh. Also numerous high-profile corporate events. Band member credits include the Syd Lawrence Orchestra, BBC Big Band, NYJO, Jools Holland Rhythm'n'Blues Orchestra, Peter Grant, Joe Longthorne, Corrine Bailey Rae, Diane Schure, The Four Tops, The Supremes, Mica Paris, McCoy Tyner and many West End and UK touring theatre productions. Currently only taking on limited engagements due to heavy touring schedules by several of the band's key members.
