Mr Cat & the Jackal is a unique five piece multi-instrumental group often described as experimental acoustic folk exploring blues, tango, pirate, Balkan and Irish themes. With a circus of sounds created by foreign and handmade instruments – their live performance is a complete musical experience. The band formed in 2006, originally devoted to writing musical scores for theater productions. They received a KANNA nomination for their work in Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” (Die Storm, KKNK), as well as a Fiesta award at Aardklop for 2010’s “Die Kortstondige Raklewe van Anastasia W”. Which is just some of the projects the members of MCATJ compose for. Their debut album was release in November 2007 (Themes & Variations), breaking the record attendance at the Plaasteater venue. Since then the band had been touring Southern Africa repeatedly and kept on refining their craft through commandeering festivals and entertaining audiences at every venue available.
