May 2007:
Due to a variety of reasons and circumstances, catoan is no longer (split up in other words).
Whats happening now:
Paddy is in the process of developing new material and may be continuing as a solo artist once again. So, if you're not already a friend on the myspace - MYSPACE.COM/PATRICKMCKEOWN then click the link!
John, Cavan and Ruaidhri have been hiding in an attic formulating new musical ideas. Keep your eyes on the catoan myspace for info to come on that.
..And Rob has moved to Norway to find his fortune and is currently fraternizing with the locals, teaching music and admiring fjords.
The CD, 'and will i', is still available via the catoan websites, amazon, iTunes, CDbaby...etc etc. If you want to get your hands on it then hit the websites or send us an email and we can hook you up!
Finally, thanks to all for all the support along the way !!!!
