The Flaming Mudcats

Didn't get to WOMAD? Here is the gig to blow away missing out your blues! The Flaming Mudcats deal up their Blues sunny side up, over easy, spicy or funky… it’s all on the menu with these guys.

Formed in 2008 in Auckland, the Flaming Mudcats are now regarded to be one of New Zealand’s premier blues acts. They have taken their show to festivals and clubs throughout NZ, Australia, USA and the Pacific Islands. Their energetic live blues sets blend original material and covers drawn from their eclectic influences, a raw life potion of killer grooves, blazing licks and harp wizardry. Butt-shakin belters to soulful grinders with everything in between, welcome to the Flaming Mudcats show.
The band is fronted on vocals and harmonica by Craig Bracken with Doug Bygrave providing the six-string firepower. Anchoring these two, is drummer Ian Thomson and on Bass is Johnny Yu (San Francisco, CA).

With two highly-regarded albums of mostly original material, – 2011’s “Gave You What You Wanted” and 2013’s “Mistress” & their latest album released in November 2018 “Cut Loose” now these guys are just getting started.

BYO, door sales $20, and bring some extra cash for post gig burgers.
