30th March see's the first performance by former SAL front woman, Cat Southall at Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff. Since the breakup of the popular Rock band a year ago, Cat has been busy creating her first Solo album - a concept album, complete with Superhero's, evil Villains, comic book style artwork, spoken narrative, sound FX and soaringly anthemic, theatrical Pop/Rock.
The concert will be Cat's official launch as a Solo artist and will also feature her new backing band. Whilst putting the album together, Cat also joined forces with local legends, Manic Street Preachers, having written all vocal arrangements and performed as lead session singer on their hit album Postcards from a Young man, which also led to Cat singing with the band on Jools Holland and, the cutting edge music show, Strictly Come Dancing. Her relationship with the band continued when she also sang on follow up single This is the Day.
Cat then featured in the acclaimed Channel 4 documentary 'Sing for your life' as the leader of a community choir, composed of people affected by Cancer. The programme followed Cat as she took the choir from humble beginnings to a performance at the Royal Albert Hall alongside Rock superstars Brian May, Alice Cooper & Bruce Dickenson (avid supporter of Cats former band on his Radio Show).
The completion of Cat's solo album see's the end of what has been a very busy year for the Aberdare born singer who is classically trained. The album also features writing input from former SAL Guitarist Noog and Kyshera frontman, James Kennedy.
Speaking about the music, Cat told us "It's very different to anything I've ever done before and I can't wait to share it with everyone! I'm really excited about the new songs, the band sound amazing and we've got a killer show planned for the gig!"
