Grab a pint and some space to dance and flail your body around because The Great Malarkey never disappoints! They bring their whole heart to every song, every show, every album and anyone who wants to listen.

Ben Catley

We’re welcoming him back to Camper Calling, it’s Ben Catley!

With mesmerising guitar playing and an ecstatic stage presence, Western Australia’s Ben Catley pours every ounce of his soul into his live show. Having toured across Australia, New Zealand and the UK many times over, he captivates audiences like few other solo artists.

Along with releasing tracks featuring the legendary Wim Hof, and recently supporting USA

blues icon Walter Trout, Ben is also often found performing shows with Si Mullumby (Wild

Marmalade), who is widely regarded as one of the world’s best didgeridoo players!

Recently playing Australia’s famous Bluesfest (The Doobie Brothers, John Butler), and with regular music releases, Ben’s creative style of guitar-focussed blues/roots/rock continues to evolve. While mostly known for his high energy acoustic style, Ben has recently been releasing collections of chilled, finger-style guitar instrumentals ‘Cloudcabins’, that he has now weaved into his live set, creating a diverse show of guitar craftsmanship.

It’s a set you won’t want to miss, catch him in Freshly Squeezed on Saturday night!
