Burning Rope is the new band formed by former Catfish members Paul Long and Adam Pyke, with Alex Voysey on guitar and Mitch Weaving (who also toured with Catfish) on drums.

The band is born out of family tragedy and loss, and a desire to continue playing music.

Ray Beadle's guitar and vocal styles evoke numerous blues legends, whilst concocting a breathtaking style all of his own. It is not by chance that Ray has become a favourite amongst Australian blues and music fans. An exhilarating guitarist, an enthralling singer-songwriter, and an extremely talented performer, Ray was awarded Best Album, Best Song, and Best Male Artist in the Chain Blues Awards.
