Other info
C Cat Trance produced world/dance/funk sounds ahead of their time, and, with a floating membership varying between two and eight, played infrequent gigs —beginning at Pandora's Musicbox in Rotterdam in September 1984— and more often in Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Holland) than the UK.
