Ben Catley

Friday 22nd August 2025

Little Theatre | 20:45 – 21:45

With mesmerising acoustic guitar playing and an ecstatic stage presence, Ben Catley pours every ounce of his soul into his live show. Having toured all across Australia, New Zealand and the UK many times over, he captivates audiences like few other solo artists.

Ben returns to the UK after recently performing at Australia’s famous BLUESFEST Byron Bay – featuring iconic acts such as Crowded House, Toto, George Thorogood & The Destroyers, Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram, John Butler and many more.

He has also recently supported USA blues royalty Walter Trout, released tracks featuring the voice of Wim Hof, and had his music licensed for a worldwide Ford campaign.

His live show has become renowned for his over-the-neck style guitar playing, blistering riffs, delicate finger-tapping and ‘singing-into-the-guitar’. With flavours of blues/roots/rock/folk, Ben weaves between both atmospheric soundscapes and huge upbeat energy, creating a diverse show of guitar craftsmanship.
