International touring blues rock band Catfish were nominated for three UK Blues awards, winning two of them - Band of the Year and Blues Instrumentalist of the Year (Matt Long). In 2018 they won the UK Blues Award for Blues Act of the Year (England) to add to their 2016 British Blues Award awarded to keyboard player Paul Long. In the last few years, they have played at almost every major UK blues festival, and tour regularly in Europe.

Their first two albums 'So Many Roads' and ‘Broken Man’ both reached no. 1 in the IBBA airplay charts. The second of these, ‘Broken Man’, was also nominated for a UK Blues Award and was named album of the year by the IBBA. Their current album 'Burning Bridges' was released in May 2019 and has received excellent reviews from the UK and European music press. It was the third most played album by the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association in 2019 and was nominated for a UK blues award for 2020 as album of the year.
