The Trials of Cato
Presented by Folk East
THE TRIALS OF CATO are a Welsh / English trio, originally formed in Beirut. Dubbed "the Sex Pistols of folk,” (J Davis) they pay clear homage to tradition whilst twisting old bones into something febrile and modern, with stomping tunes and captivating stories.
Their debut album “Hide And Hair” won the the BBC Radio 2 Folk Album of the Year Award,2019, and the much anticipated follow-up “Gog Magog” has recently been released to rave reviews. Their live shows are famous for their energy and virtuosity, “one of the real discoveries of the folk circuit in recent times’ - BBC Radio 2’s Mark Radcliffe.
This summer we are pleased to partner with Husk, Thorington who offer bespoke picnics delivered to the theatre one hour before your show. See the menu here.
