Coco and the
Butterfields sprang
to life in September
2011 as a humble
folk trio. Nowadays
they’re more
accurately
described as a
five-strong major
kick on the South
East music scene,
a truly colourful,
energetic and
crowd-stamping act to be reckoned with, performing their own unique
fusion of folk, pop and hip hop, or ‘Fip Fok’ to their fans. Within a year
CATB had earned themselves the title of the UK’s best unsigned act,
collecting several more songwriting awards, 250,000 YouTube hits and
shared a stage with internationally renowned artists King Charles, Bastille
and The Pogues. From busking in their hometown, Canterbury, to headlining
Rome’s largest unsigned music festival, CATB’s fresh sound and raw energy
on stage has rapidly gained them a large and loyal following, making them
one of the UK’s top up-and-coming bands to watch out for.
