Moscow Cat Circus

A pop/soul/funk band from the Ribble Valley. Having rubbed shoulders for years in various musical incarnations, the band came together out of a mutual interest in songwriting, as well as a need to do music that could be described as hot. They combine fearsome soulful vocals with a rhythm section that have been playing together since adolescence.

Whilst predominantly being interested in original material, the band have been known to include a few choice cover versions, typically selected to get audiences moving.
