The first thing to strike you about Big Cats is their singer. Sarah Ditchburn has a fantastic voice and simply loves to use it, throwing herself into songs which many singers would hesitate even to attempt. The result is impressive, and occasionally stunning.

Having an unusually talented singer naturally widens the pool from which the band can draw their material. In selecting the songs to cover they have taken pains to avoid the more obvious choices, and have instead gone mainly for songs which, while they are just as well known, are generally less often covered - although they still cant resist dropping a few old favourites in to the mix. The result is a diverse and entertaining set with a high dancability factor.

The boys (I use the term loosely) in the band are all competent and experienced musicians, whose versatile playing ranges from sensitive and restrained accompaniment to outright rockin & rollin.
