Cat Ryan

Cat Ryan is the musical creation of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mary-Anne Murphy alongside band mates Jake Waller-Doyle (lead guitar), Charlie Radford (drums), and Dan Wright (bass/keys). The band made a distinctive & lasting impression on their home city of Newcastle upon Tyne when they released their debut single ‘Mannerism’ in March 2020.

Cat Ryan’s unique brand of Indie-Pop has earned them acclaim, with features on BBC Radio 1, Radio 6 and Radio X, as well as performances with Sundara Karma, Alfie Templeman and Sprints. Having previously performed at Y NOT, Kendal Calling, and Truck Festival, the band are set to return to the Y NOT main stage in summer 2025.
