About this Event

Former and founding lead guitarist of Catfish and the Bottlemen Billy Bibby is no newcomer to the UK scene having become the elder statesmen of Catfish, relentlessly gigging, building a fiercely loyal fan base, selling out increasingly larger venues, and ultimately securing a recording deal in 2013 that would lead to the release of a Top 10 gold debut album.



And Billy Bibby and his band are ready to do it all again…



Billy’s current musical journey began 2014 in the same, grass roots, DIY style that served him well in the past. Penning new tunes and trialling them live and on SoundCloud – to overwhelmingly positive feedback.



The time was right to get a full band going and, with the help of Verve bassist Simon Jones, recruited Rob Jones (guitar/vocals), Matt Thomas (bass/vocals0 and Mike Pearce (drums).



Since the first single ‘Waitin’ for You’ and debuting live in 2015 it’s been nonstop with a debut EP ‘Bide Your Time’, follow-up single ‘Are You Ready?’, radio play (Radio X, BBC Introducing, Virgin Radio, Amazing Radio) and yet more gigging.



Billy Bibby & The Wry Smiles are winning – time to catch up!
