An Cat Dubh

Celtic Folk Rock from the heart of Hesse

Celtic Folk Rock with Bite

Since 1992, An Cat Dubh has been blending the musical soul of Ireland and Scotland with the raw energy of rock. Traditional folk songs, rugged sea shanties, infectious rhythms and soulful ballads meet original compositions and distinctive arrangements.

Sometimes the beat drives things forward; sometimes the melodies tell stories of longing, freedom and life itself. And whenever the black cat takes the stage, musical passion, humour and a generous dose of pub atmosphere are all part of the experience.

Bagpipes, accordion, bodhrán, rich vocal harmonies and rocking guitar riffs, backed by earthy bass and driving drums...

An Cat Dubh – Celtic Folk Rock that gets under your skin and gets you moving.

“… Every time, the guys from An Cat Dubh impressed me with their infectious sound, their relaxed and self-deprecating stage presence and – in my opinion – one of the finest voices in the Celtic Rock and Folk Rock scene …”
