Cath is also a member of groups including Madwort Sax Quartet, Article XI, MoonMot and Alex Ward’s Item 10.
They have a long-standing duo with guitarist Anton Hunter called Ripsaw Catfish, and regularly collaborates with experimental musicians Tullis Rennie, Otto Willberg, Benedict Taylor, Alex Bonney, Seth Bennett and Dirk Serries.
