Hailing from North Wales and Yorkshire, The Trials of Cato returned to the UK from Lebanon in the winter of 2016, since when their feet have barely touched the ground as their eclectic brand of roots music has seen them booked out at clubs and festivals across the country. Their eponymous debut album was well received, having caught the attention of industry heavyweights like Mark Radcliffe and Mike Harding.

The band’s live set includes both original and traditional material, delivered wholly on fretted instruments (and a few surprises) to achieve a musical presence not often heard on the modern'nu-folk' scene.
